ENGL 4801 - Advanced Narrative Writing

(LA-AS)

Fall. 4 credits. Student option grading.

Prerequisite: permission of instructor based on submission of a manuscript (bring manuscript to first day of class, or submit via email, depending upon instructor’s preference). Pre-enrollment does not guarantee a place in the class. Prior completion of a section of ENGL 3820 or ENGL 3830 is strongly recommended. Enrollment limited to: 15 students. ENGL 4801 and ENGL 4811 count toward the English major and may be used to satisfy the 4000-level creative writing requirement for the Creative Writing minor. ENGL 4801 and ENGL 4811 are the same course, the former offered in fall, the latter in spring. Students may take ENGL 4801 and ENGL 4811 more than once.

This course is intended for narrative writing students who have completed ENGL 3820 or ENGL 3830 and wish to refine their writing. It may include significant reading and discussion, explorations of form and technique, completion of writing assignments and prompts, and workshop peer review of student work. In addition to the instructor’s assigned writing requirements, students may work on longer-form narrative writing projects.
