Good stories have the power to transform the mundane into the magical, the distant into the intimate, and the incomprehensible into the reasonable. They transcend their characters, plots, and situations to connect with readers in deep and meaningful ways. Good stories stick to the bones. In this course we will examine fiction writing strategies and explore basic elements of craft including voice, tense, character, point of view, plot, and style. The course will include the reading and discussion of published work and craft essays, in-class writing and writing prompts, and a workshop of class work.
