WRIT 8353 - Creative & Critical Writing: Level 2

In this semester-long intensive seminar, students are taken deeper into the craft and process of writing for children and/or young adults. They can choose to focus on the picture book, the novel (middle-grade, young adult, graphic, or verse), comics, poetry, nonfiction, or a combination. Each month students do the following: (1) they do extensive creative writing and revision in response to detailed feedback from faculty advisors; (2) they complete brief annotated bibliographies based on assigned reading; and (3) they write short critical essays based on issues of craft or topics of interest that arose from their own creative work or from assigned reading.
