ENGL 194S SC - Advanced Fiction Writing Workshop

This advanced fiction workshop is intended for students who have taken at least one course in fiction writing (ENGL193 or an equivalent course at the Claremont Colleges). In it, students will become familiar with a wide range of prose storytelling techniques, both traditional and experimental. They will also engage with a variety of storytelling genres, including not only fiction and memoir but also film, photography, and song, and though this process of creative discovery, they will hone their intuition for narrative craft and explore what animates them as writers. Over the semester students will draft and revise a portfolio of short stories or a single longer work of narrative prose.

This course meets the senior seminar requirement for Scripps English majors (please see “Senior Requirement in the English major” in the catalog) but is open to all students. It may be repeated once for credit.

Prerequisite(s): One previous fiction workshop at the 5Cs or permission of the instructor.
Course Credit: 1.0
Offered: Every year
