Lectures and discussion on the crafts and/or processes of writing in various genres including fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, etc. Topics for reading and writing assignments vary semester to semester.

In this online class, you'll learn to read like a writer by studying the craft of creative writing, explore your own process by writing your own short stories and poems, and then get feedback in small peer workshops designed to help you become an even better writer and reader. Students will read and analyze contemporary fiction and poetry (i.e.: what’s being published today) and write a variety of exercises as well as more formal pieces. Note that this is not merely a generative writing class, but one where you will learn the craft of writing, so come prepared to learn what constitutes a strong story and poem and then integrate it into your own work.
