EGL 149 Introduction to Creative Writing
This is an introductory course in writing poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. This course teaches that powerful writing comes from reading examples of each genre carefully, writing initial drafts without fear, and revising. In this course, readings, class discussions and in-class writing exercises will focus on various elements of the craft of creative writing. We will pay particular attention to reading models to give us a jumping off point for our own writing. 11 (3 lecture hours)
