This course is meant to spark students’ literary interests, talents, and inclinations. This applies to all students: from those who have never written before, to those who are fairly certain of their own preferred forms of writing, and everyone in between. Students will read a number of short stories and poems, and then write their own. As students will need to produce at least one work a week, those who wish to write fiction will be limited to the flash fiction genre. As this is a workshop, students will be expected to read their work aloud, to critique the works of their classmates, and listen to the (kind) critique of their own work by others all with the goal of helping one another on the path of self-discovery and skill improvement. By the end of the semester, students will compile and turn in a portfolio of 5-6 of their favorite works and submit them to a literary journal of their choice to be considered for publication.
