Fiction Writing III: Advanced Fiction Writing

 

WRIT1-CE9322 / $580
SPRING 2012
Continuing Education: Writing and Speech

Designed for advanced writers who want to develop their skills further, this peer workshop emphasizes craft with special attention to developing characters and themes; dramatizing rather than summarizing; pacing; using sensory detail to create a cogent, fictive world; creating tension; and polishing dialogue. Students submit works-in-progress for discussion by the instructor and class; in most class meetings, four writers each receive a half-hour critique. Published authors, editors, or agents are also invited each semester to lecture and answer students' questions. To apply, e-mail five double-spaced manuscript pages by February 1, 2012 to scps.advancedfiction@nyu.edu.

Please include phone number and e-mail address. You will be notified several days after the deadline. If accepted, your space is reserved for one week. Admission by permission of the instructor.
