This course is designed to introduce students to the elements that make a compelling, artful short story. To do that, we'll look at our own writing processes and figure out how to make them work in a way that suits every individual in the class. We'll read unforgettable works of fiction, craft essays, and workshop each other's stories. This course is all about developing muscle memory and a passion for creative work.
Reading List-- Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Amy Hempel, Sam Lipsyte, Kali Fajardo-Anstine, Kevin Wilson, and others!
