This class will help students find and explore stories that are important to them. Through in-class and take-home exercises, students will explore characters, develop story structures and learn how to use their experiences to produce articles, short stories and personal essays. We will discuss writing techniques such as fiction narration, description and dialogue to create works that are personal and compelling. Writers will also be advised on markets for their work and the proper method of submitting proposals to agents and publishers.
