CRW 100 - ”Burn Away All the Peripherals”: Introduction to Creative Writing

This course will introduce you to the craft of creative writing–its practice, techniques, and terminology. We will “read as writers” to unpack how published poems, short stories, and creative nonfiction function at the level of characterization, voice, dialogue, setting, and conflict (for prose) as well as sound, rhythm, line break, and image (for poetry). Classes will be taught in seminar fashion and will include a combination of short lectures, writing exercises, class discussion, and workshops. You will also learn how to submit your work to literary journals. The final consists of a portfolio of your revised creative work.

This course counts towards the Creative Writing Minor.
