55-5108 Fiction Seminar This advanced class in fiction writing will begin with technical or craft matters, then proceed to the more artistic aspects of composing fiction of any length. The craft sessions will address the general nature of communication, involving creating characters (including both their physical and psychological description), dialogue, interior monologue and stream of consciousness, action, pace, point of view, plot, setting, and style. Substantial writing projects will be undertaken by the students and submitted for class analysis and discussion. There will also be extensive use of one-to-one writing conferences between the teacher and the students. Fiction seminar is taught by discussion and critique, rather than the Story Workshop approach.

55-5202 CRW: First Novels This course will expose student writers to the creative and intellectual processes of published writers early in their careers. It will show students that a) writing is an ongoing process of writing and rewriting; b) the creative process is both unique and universal to each writer; and c) published writers faced the same bogeys at the beginning of their careers that student writers face. Through contrast and comparisons (in the journals and class discussions) students will examine and comment on the prose forms, character developments, and story structures first-time novelists have effectively used, along with the writing processes the authors employed to get their first novels finished. Through journal entries and essays, students will examine what all this tells them about how they might go about solving the questions of structure and process presented to them by their own writing. Students will be required to read three novels and conduct research by reading writers’ diaries, notebooks, letters, and autobiographies. There will be discussion of the assigned texts and journal readings every week.

55-5205 CRW: Gender and Difference This course examines the ways in which gay, lesbian, and straight writers contend with issues of culture, gender, and difference. The course focuses upon such questions as the following: How do straight male and female writers deal with the serious issues and challenges of writing from the point of view of gay and lesbian characters? How do gay and lesbian writers deal with the same issues in writing about straight characters? The course also examines the particular challenges of writing gender opposites (whatever the sexual orientation of those characters might be). Through the students’ reading of assigned stories and novels, through their written responses as writers to their reading, through creative fiction and nonfiction writing assignments, and through individual and small-group research activities, the course will approach broad and specific issues of gender and difference from early writing to the present day.

55-5206 CRW: The Novel in Stories This course examines the creative and intellectual processes of writers working in nonlinear structure formats. It will try to assess the following: What are the questions writers ask themselves when determining how best to structure a body of work that is more cohesive than a collection of stories, yet not a linear-shaped novel? What (or who) are their influences, their models, for the episodic or modular structure? Does this structure just happen because a writer is unable to force certain material into following a linear trek, or is the decision made early on as a conscious choice in the creative process? Through readings, small group and large group discussions, journal reflections (both students’ and authors’), and research into the authors’ writing processes, students will be able to reflect upon and examine the issues and questions of structure that go into putting together a cohesive body of creative work.

55-5219 CRW: American Latino Writers This course is a research, writing, and discussion workshop devoted to examining the development of story ideas by selected American Latino writers, including these writers’ responses to reading, stages of manuscript development, approaches to rewriting, dealings with editors and publishers, and other aspects of the fiction writer’s process. Throughout the course, students read private writings (journals, notebooks, letters) as well as more public statements by published writers such as Julia Alvarez, Isabel Allende, Junot Diaz, and Rudolfo Anaya, with an eye toward their own reading and writing processes. In particular, students reflect upon the way in which the writers’ often very personal response to texts differs from that of the traditional literary critic’s approach of focusing on the end product.

55-6110 Thesis Development This course concentrates on the process and extended development necessary for the completion of a book-length thesis. The course is designed for graduate students who normally have completed at least two semesters of Advanced Fiction Writing (or will be concurrently enrolled in a second Advanced class), who have sixty to seventy manuscript pages of what they have identified to a Workshop teacher as thesis material, and are in the early stages of working with a thesis advisor. The course is not for graduate students well on their way to completing the thesis, but rather for those in the early developmental stages of thesis work. The course will focus on how to put it all together; that is, such matters as novel structure and movement, short-story structure and movement, dimensions of point of view, and the uniqueness of such in the individual writing of the students. Students should not expect a writing workshop format, though from time to time we will devote all or most of a class session to Story Workshop exercises and in-class writing.
