EN 388 Senior Creative Writing Seminar


(4 Credits)
This is the culminating course for seniors enrolled in the Creative Writing Concentration. The student will work on a manuscript that may or not be inspired by a work produced in another course over their student’s four years of study. The manuscript will be about 50 pages in length and can be a work of fiction, non-fiction, or poetry. This course will be team taught by professors who specialize in the possible genres. The course will meet three hours once a week and include lectures on elements of craft and form, whole class discussions of elements of craft based on assigned readings, development, and peer review sessions, lab time when students can work on revising their manuscripts, ask questions immediately and get advice from a professor or a peer. Students will produce and revise his or her manuscript throughout the semester and will also critique other students’ work-in-progress. By the end of the course, the student will have completed the manuscript and will read from their work at a senior reading event.
