ENGL 324 - Fiction Workshop

Upper Division

This course is an intensive exploration of the ideas, techniques and forms of fiction with a primary emphasis on the careful analysis and discussion of student works-in-progress. Students grapple with questions of voice, point of view, dramatic movement, structure, rhythm and imagery, as well as with any and all issues of art and craft that arise from individual manuscripts. By the end of the course, students should develop the terminology and the critical skills for revising fiction, and should develop a good understanding about issues and trends in the genre.
