ENG 200 - Introduction to Creative Writing

3 Semester Hour(s)

Prerequisite(s): ENG 101-ENG 102 or ENG 103-ENG 104
This course introduces students to four major genres: poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and drama. The focus is on learning and applying literary devices to original work, reading established writers in terms of learning from their craft, developing, editing, and revising skills, and developing workshop skills: giving suggestions to peers as well as applying suggestions for revision of one’s own work. Students are encouraged to experiment with styles, practice pastiches, and ultimately develop one’s own individual voice.
