Short Story Writing (Online Course) (EGL 123 W)
In this course, students will cultivate the imaginative, critical, and technical skills necessary for writing effective short stories. Using the published work of wellknown authors, as well as original student writing, we will explore common problems encountered when attempting to write a literary short story. Students will learn how to properly submit their work for publication, as well as how to read short stories as writers—not as mere critics of literature. Each text that we encounter will be reviewed as a template for imitation and inspiration.
This course follows the classic workshop model wherein students will submit one short story for group discussion, and constructively critique each other’s work. Through this process, students will be able to hone their stories into more polished pieces, and everyone will learn a variety of techniques for improving their writing. Successful short stories have been defined as "something that can be read in an hour and remembered for a lifetime." The ultimate goal of this course is to help you create just such a narrative.
