In this seminar-style class students will develop and refine their skills with short fiction. Using published works of literary fiction as models, students will practice craft elements and strategies for fiction-making through weekly short exercises. Longer works, to be discussed in group workshops, will test the students’ ability to incorporate these skills. Students will also learn about revision and push to develop and shape their drafts over time.
