We will read from contemporary creative writing textbooks such as Imaginative Writing: The Elements of Craft by Janet Burroway and The Fiction Writers Workshop by Josip Novakovic as well as examining selections of classic modern literature such as Kafka, Ha%9Aek, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Kerouac, to contemporary writers like New Yorker essayist Malcolm Gladwell, novelists J.K. Rowling, and auteur filmmakers like Milo%9A Forman and Quentin Tarantino.
Each member of the class will be encouraged to submit original work to the instructor for a consultation on style and content as well as a discussion on the student's publication goals. Novel chapters, stories, poems, autobiographical essays, creative non-fiction, book reviews, and writing of all genres will be welcome.
