This course will challenge you
to take a step up in your writing. The
format will be similar to the "Intensive" courses, but with less
reading between classes each week, leaving you with more writing
time. Over the twelve weeks of classes, you’ll be asked to bring in five
pieces of your writing for detailed feedback or during an eight-week class,
you’ll bring in three pieces. 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 at the start of each class, addressing the needs of the group.
