ENGL420  - Advanced Creative Writing

View Academic Calendar
 

This course extends the writing approaches and practices encountered in ENGL120. Students will continue to explore ways to generate ideas for stories, but a more central focus will be on deepening existing writings and finding new challenges in familiar material. Students will also explore additional types of storytelling, such as prose poetry, flash fiction, screenwriting, and visual poetry. Students will explore their own “voice” and develop a writing process unique to themselves. (Prerequisite: ENGL120).
