76-460 Fiction Workshop

9 units, Carnegie Mellon University

In this writing-intensive workshop students will be focused on producing and polishing their own fiction. Alongside our workshops, we'll closely read and discuss short stories by a diverse range of writers and examine craft elements beyond the basics—such as voice, subtext, syntax, and experimental forms. Nearly all our readings, exercises, and discussions will be oriented toward the development of your original fiction. Each student will be expected to produce two short stories and a revision by the end of the semester.

Prerequisites: 76-260 (min B)
