Beginning Fiction (Online)

In this course our focus will be on the generation, discussion, and critique of original participant writing. We will also read contemporary 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. In addition to weekly selections from our course reader, you should expect to read and carefully critique a fellow participant?s story in preparation for each workshop.
