Introduction to Fiction Writing

Students learn and practice the fundamentals of writing fiction—character, plot, dialogue, description, style—in a workshop setting.

By discussing and analyzing published short fiction (our list may include such writers as James Baldwin, Junot Diaz, and Jhumpa Lahiri), students learn the narrative techniques and strategies of creative writers.

This course is intended for those who write regularly and wish to develop their skills, talents, and voices.
