224.001: Introduction to Creative Writing

Online
Julie Shigekuni, jshig@unm.edu

This online introduction to creative writing will cover three genres: creative nonfiction, fiction, and poetry. The focus will be on inquiry and methods of investigation. We will begin by constructing a memory, which you will then recast as story, and as poetry. You will examine methods by which published authors of nonfiction, fiction, and poetry posit questions and search for answers. In turn you will experiment with elements of craft in your own writing. Coursework will consist of daily readings, online discussion, and short writing experiments.
