CRWT 40.19 Developing The Novel

Ever thought of writing a novel? Many of us have. But deciding how to star—and how to keep going—can be daunting. In this class, you will start a novel from scratch and learn the practice of writing “long” while wrapping your brain around a large story. We will be reading and studying great novels, as those are our most useful tools. Readings will include short novels by James Cain, Ocean Vuong, Jean Rhys, Chinua Achebe, and others. Class will consist of workshops and in-depth craft discussions plot, structure, characterization, point-of-view, sense of place, and voice. By the end of the class, you should have a polished Chapter One, as well as rough drafts of Chapters Two and Three and an outline.

Dist:ART

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.
