Advanced Fiction Workshop: How to Finish What You Start
ENGLISH CLAR
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
Have you ever written a draft of a short story or a novel, only to realize that you have no idea what to do next? This workshop will guide you through how to truly finish what you start on the page. We will explore how revision can be every bit as creative and exhilarating as getting the first draft down; experiment with different revision techniques; and learn how to move beyond the early draft stage. Students can expect to leave the semester with a polished short story or 30-40 novel pages; a deeper understanding of their own writing process; and a roadmap for how to navigate publishing.
