LIT 031 CM - Introduction to Creative Writing

This course offers the chance to explore three genres of creative writing: fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. We’ll read contemporary short stories, poems, and personal essays, looking at the choices writers have made in terms of structure, technique, and content. We’ll then put this knowledge to use by trying our hands at fiction, creative non-fiction, and formal and free verse. By the end of the course, students will have had the chance to experience literature from the writer’s side, and perhaps will have found a genre to explore in more depth in further creative writing classes.
