Admission to this course is by permission of the instructor. Graduate/Undergraduate Level. Restricted to Graduate Students, Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores. The Advanced Fiction Workshop provides encouragement, practice, and criticism for students who have demonstrated accomplishment in writing fiction. The workshop format demands self-motivation and universal participation. Since students stories are texts for class discussion, a generous willingness to respond to others writing and to expose one's own work to such reactions is an essential prerequisite. Individual conferences with the instructor supplement workshop discussions. Students are expected to produce a steady stream of new and revised fiction throughout the semester. Narrative preferences from the traditional to the experimental are welcome. Admission is by writing sample. Please email the instructor for application details.
