LIT 90 Introduction to Creative Writing
Introduction to the culture and values of creative writing as an academic and artistic discipline. Introduces the practice of the writing life. Students write and/or revise weekly fictional, poetic or creative nonfiction experiments and discuss these experiments in two weekly peer workshops led by their teaching assistants. Students attend weekly lectures in which working writers read fiction or poetry, and hybrid creative forms, and answer questions about the writing life. Alternately, the instructor will give craft lectures and relevant writing prompts based on the readings. The visiting writers’ work and the other readings are used as inspiration for students’ own creative and critical reader responses.
