Intermediate Fiction Writing

X440 (2 semester units in English)

An elective in the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program in Writing

Explore the craft of writing fiction, particularly if you have already completed Introduction to Writing Fiction X11 or the equivalent. Lectures and in-class exercises focus on the short story; however, if you are primarily interested in working on a novel, you can still benefit greatly. You examine the intricacies of plotting, narrative voice, and personal style throughout this course. Class sessions include instructor-led critiques of your work and focus on improving your ability to edit and revise your stories. Enrollment is limited to 18.
