ENG 286 Novel Writing I

Prerequisite: ENG 283 , or permission of the instructor
3 credits

ENG 286 is a continuation of narrative writing skills begun in ENG 283. The focus, however, is exclusively on the techniques of writing extended pieces of fiction (novels/novellas). Students will work on their own manuscripts while participating in peer review workshops and while discussing such elements of the craft as character and conflict, dialogue and point of view, pacing and plot.
