Introduction to Creative Writing

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This seminar will provide a forum for students to develop their own creative voices through the medium of writing. Students will get the chance to write their own creative pieces (short stories, novel extracts, poems, personal essays) and discuss them, along with the work of others, in an encouraging space. Grounded in a philosophy that to write well is to read well, we will also discuss a number of fiction, creative non-fiction and poetry texts. By engaging in close reading, editing, and writing exercises, students will develop and hone creative skills applicable to a broad range of disciplines, both in academia and the creative arts.
