Continuing Education:
Writing and Speech
The short story is a natural passageway into fiction writing. Though limited in form, its effect can be extremely powerful on the reader. This course offers not only the fundamentals of short story writing--characterization, plot, dialogue, imagery, and tone--but also teaches you how to achieve these powerful effects which, in Flannery O'Connor's words, keep "the short story from being short." Students are guided through brief writing assignments that are supplemented with works of contemporary short story writers. The class culminates in the completion of at least one short story by each participant.
