Advanced Writing Workshop is an opportunity for writers to expand on the portfolio of work they developed in Creative Writing and/or Fiction Writing. Students will approach the creative process in the same manner, building on the importance of the word and the poetic image to convey meaning. There will, however, be greater opportunity to focus on fiction writing, multi-media works, and publishing in this course. Students will be given the time to write and their choice of products. Students will focus more on depth of revision and craft than on generation of a large number of new pieces. Students will develop, refine, and present a substantial portfolio by the end of the course. The culminating activity (final exam) for the course is a "Book Release Event" in which our newly published authors will perform a selection of their work in front of the class and discuss their writing process and style.
