CRWR 5201 Mentorship 1: Fiction
Mentorship 1 places American fiction writing of the 21st century in its historical context in order to inform the students’ stylistic and aesthetic choices for his or her work. Students are expected to become familiar with the history of American creative prose literature. Students will read selected works along with essays that discuss the craft of fiction. Regular writing exercises that arise from the readings are aimed towards generating new works for the end-of-semester portfolio. Every four weeks students will submit original creative writing to the mentor for feedback. Students will also engage in monthly online discussion/ workshops with their peers.
