MALS 246 Fiction Writing - Novella

This writing workshop will focus primarily on the longer fictional forms (the novella and the long story). Writing experience is preferred, but is not a prerequisite.  Emphasis will be placed on student work, but a good number of published stories and novellas will be looked at as well.  Classes will be mostly discussions, analyses, and readings.   The aims of the course are to help the young writer understand and practice the longer forms of fiction, to read those forms more judiciously and from a writer’s point of view, and to raise his/her own levels of prose to a high literary standard.
