Creative Writing (ENGL2076)
Semester 1 / 2010

Description

Who would not wish to be a published author? This course provides an introduction to creative writing of various kinds, chiefly short fiction and poetry, in a workshop situation in which recent and, in particular, contemporary writing, made available in a reading brick, will be critically analysed and, where appropriate, used as a model. Stylistic diversity will be encouraged and the workshop will ensure close discussion of, and feedback on, student work. The course will include some consideration of the practical process of publishing.

Assessment

1,500 word essay (25%), written and oral critiques of student writing (15%) and portfolio of creative work (60%)
