In this six-week course, participants will explore the foundational elements of fiction including plot, point of view, voice, setting and other elements. Each week, we will read and examine examples of short fiction which demonstrate each element particularly well. Participants will then generate original work from a prompt with the intention of practicing that particular element. If time allows, participants will share work and evaluate use of the element.
By the end of the course, participants will have developed foundational writing skills in the elements of fiction, strengthened close reading and analysis of short fiction skills, and learned optimal practices for workshop environments.
