EH 301: Fiction Workshop

Stitt, MW 11:00-12:20

This is a workshop in fiction writing. The class requires that you write clearly and well, that you

create concrete realities that (perhaps unfortunately) do not yet exist, and that you interact with

your classmates to improve your writing and theirs. The grade you receive in here will reflect the

quality of your writing, your obsession with detail, the vividness of your imagination, and your

active participation in the course.

Successful English 301 students will demonstrate a high level of linguistic competence, will

organize their thoughts and words and sentences and sensations into a coherent pattern, will have

an appreciation for the sound as well as the meaning of language, will observe the sensory and

social worlds with care, will display an awareness of multiple points of view, will be (for the

most part) intolerant of clichés, and will give serious thought to how story and description create

meaning.
