Please feel free to direct your students to this exciting summer session I course:
CW 202 – Topics in Creative Writing (Topic: The Art of Revision)
9-11:50 MTWR
The Art of Revision This course will emphasize the absolute importance of revision in bringing promising work to final polish. Students working in fiction, nonfiction and poetry are welcome in the class. There will be a course pack of essays by established authors addressing how they revise their own work, and we will also examine issues of Draft: A Journal of Process, which feature the first and then the last published draft of various contemporary stories and poems. Students can come to class with completed early drafts of stories, poems or essays that are in need of several drafts of further revision. There will also be several free-writing sessions in the beginning to the class, in order to generate new work that can then be nurtured through the revision process.
