The Craft of Writing

Become comfortable with the craft elements fundamental to creative writing, including imagery, voice, character, scene, summary and setting, and learn to apply these craft elements in the fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction genres.

Through weekly readings and discussions, you learn and develop skills and techniques to help you pinpoint what makes a piece of writing memorable.

You’ll use what you learn to discuss your classmates’ writing critically and thoughtfully and to revise your own writing.
