Developing their critical reading and thinking skills, students will survey a wide body of work to understand the past, present and potential futures of creative writing.
Students will discuss and analyze these works as readers while simultaneously learning to read like writers, honing their skills at understanding the underlying architecture of notable work.
The course will also function as a writers’ salon, an informal, free-flowing conversation designed to help generate and foster ideas as a group, increasing the depth in our work both individually and collectively.
The salon environment challenges students to discuss complex themes such as identity and social change maturely and dive deeply into text.
Over the course of the term, students’ interests will develop into the high-quality proposals and pitches that are necessary to pursue commissioned work.
Thus, the course is customizable with each student given individual attention to pursue personal literary goals.
