CW 3100 - Advanced Fiction Workshop

Building off of the structure and understandings established in Fiction Workshop, this advanced seminar seeks to push students toward a more robust understanding of the aesthetic and cultural value of fiction as well as a more nuanced examination of different thematic and structural mechanisms employed in the genre. Students will be expected to foster a deeper examination of their own creative process (both composition and revision) as well as demonstrate a more informed level of comfort in critically analyzing and discussing both professional work and that of their peers. This is a portfolio-based course. Prerequisites: CW 2100 and one of either CW 2110 or CW 2120. Credits: 4
