CRWT 40.20 Writing the Young Adult Novel

This is an intensive reading and writing workshop for students interested in writing a novel aimed at young adult or middle grade readers.

During the term, we will discuss what the term “Young Adult” means in terms of literature. Are standards different for books for children and teens, as opposed to those written for adults? In fact, are we, as writers, charged with aiming our work at a certain audience in the first place? And if we are, do certain responsibilities come with that effort?

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
