Introduction to Creative Writing is intended to help students develop their imaginative writing skills. The course will be primarily conducted as a workshop, and students will be expected to submit their creative work in several different styles and forms, including poetry, fiction, and drama. In addition to the workshops, there will also be discussions of literary genres, elements, and techniques, and there will be assigned readings to illustrate the discussions. Previous experience in creative writing is not necessary. Interest and enthusiasm are required.
