Advanced Short Story Writing

/ $580
SPRING 2012
Continuing Education:
Writing and Speech
The short story is not a compressed novel or an excerpt from one. Rather, it is an entirely different form that some say most resembles a poem. Delve deeper into the traditions and possibilities of creating short fiction in this writing workshop. Explore the relationship between character and plot and the delicate balance between drama and narration. What is the ideal point of view strategy for a particular story? Is there such a thing as too much dialogue? Examine style, voice, revision, and submission. Students leave the course having completed two polished stories.
Prerequisite: Short Story Writing/WRIT1-CE9330 or equivalent experience.
