**THIS CLASS HAS BEEN CANCELLED**

The beginning workshop in fiction is designed for students who have little or no previous experience writing literary texts in fiction.  Students are introduced to a range of technical and imaginative concerns through creative exercises and discussions, and eventually produce their own writing for the critical analysis of the class.  The focus of the course is on the rudiments of voice, character, setting, point of view, plot, and the lyrical use of language.  Students will begin to develop the critical skills that will allow them to read like writers and understand, on a technical level, how accomplished creative writing is produced.  Outside readings of a wide range of fiction supplement and inform the exercises and longer written projects.

Columbia students do not need to apply, but they do need to register. All visiting students will need to apply to the School of Professional Studies and register upon acceptance.
