FCARHUWINTPRAX4 credits Fiction Lab is an intro-level fiction writing course. Intensive reading of diverse works of contemporary fiction, teaching students how to read like writers and to articulate and employ common elements of fiction craft. Writing includes numerous in-class and take-home exercises-exploring the fictional techniques seen in published stories and discussed in class-which are shared in large and small groups. Later in the semester, students will break into small self-led groups to offer constructive feedback about student works of fiction in progress. Primarily for first years; first-semester first years wishing to study with CRWR can only take our 100-level courses. Upperclasspersons may be considered during add/drop.
