This course will give experienced and motivated students the chance to develop their skills in a challenging and supportive workshop environment. While our focus will be on the discussion and critiquing of original student writing, we will also read short fiction with an eye toward discovering how each piece confronts one or more of the elements of fiction writing: development of a ‘voice’; point of view; effective description; narrative technique; and dialogue. Students should expect to read and critique student stories in preparation for each workshop and to present a short story of their own for group discussion.
