CRW 101 - Intro to Fiction

This foundation course in creative writing introduces students to the craft of fiction writing, with focus on narrative structure, the revelation of character through dialogue, action and setting, and the concepts of conflict and point-of-view. Students will begin by reading and analyzing short fiction to discuss how it works, engage in short exercises, and then move on to critique longer works by class members. This serves as a vital introduction to the writing workshop process. (3 Credits )
