CRWR 650 Thesis Development: Fiction

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.
