Course Aims

This course focuses students on the creative writing process through an intensive workshop setting.  Students will be required to write and revise creative work under a tight time deadline and subject that work to peer review in a workshop setting.  As well, through preparatory and in class writing exercises and assigned readings prior to attendance, students are exposed to new approaches to the writing process which can be applied to their own creative writing.  

Note:  This course offers separate sessions and students can choose from either Creative Nonfiction or Fiction or Poetry. It is likely that students working in different genres will be grouped together in generative workshops.  However, other than complying with specific writing exercises or reading assignment, which may address other genres, students focus primarily on creative work in their own genre.

Assessment (Indicative only, please check the detailed course information)

Manuscript of work in progress: 20%
Assigned writing exercises to be completed before the workshop: 30%
