Prof. Emily Nemens (Picador Guest Professor)

There is no “right” way to write a story, but in this participatory introductory writing course, we’ll break down and examine the individual elements of story writing to understand the component parts—including character, plot, setting, and style—to see how stories are constructed. Through in-class exercises and discussion of notable contemporary and historic stories, we’ll discuss elements of short fiction, then try our hand at our own stories. Over the course of the term, students will have the opportunity to share works in progress, give each other feedback, and revise their stories.

This course starts in the week of November 7. To make up for the late start, there will be a few double sessions. More information will be provided in the first session.
