Course Description

This is an advanced writing workshop for students who have already completed more than 100 pages of an original novel. Students will focus on analysis of the elements of dramatic fictional structure through examination of works in progress. In addition to generating 50-100 new pages, students will read essays on craft and engage in research into the settings and circumstances of their characters in order to lend authenticity to the narrative. This course is designed to assist students in developing and revising manuscripts to meet contemporary publication standards.
