This course will challenge you
to take a step up in your writing. The
format will be very similar to the “Next Step” courses, but with a slightly
smaller group and with slightly more opportunity to have your writing
critiqued. Over the twelve weeks of classes, you’ll be asked to bring in five or
six pieces of your writing for detailed feedback. All your pieces may be from
the same work, such as a novel in progress, or they may be stand alone pieces.
You bring whatever you want to work on.
Besides critiquing pieces, the
instructor will give short lectures addressing the needs of the group. , and in
addition to learning how to critique your own work and receiving constructive
suggestions about your writing, you’ll discover that the greatest benefits come
from seeing how your classmates approach and critique a piece of writing and
how they write and re-write.

Intensive Creative Writing isn't for beginners; it's for people
who have been writing for a while or who have done a course or two before
and are working on their own projects. Over the twelve classes, you’ll be asked
to bring in six pieces of your writing for detailed feedback. All your pieces
may be from the same work, such as a novel in progress, or they may be stand
alone pieces. You bring whatever you want to work on.

addition to learning how to critique your own work and receiving constructive
suggestions about your writing, you’ll discover that the greatest benefits come
from seeing how your classmates approach and critique a piece of writing and
how they write and re-write. This is a challenging course, but extremely
rewarding.
