ENG-231 Fiction Writing
Fiction Writing continues to develop students' skill in the elements of fiction, including structure, character, and plot development. Students will critique and revise their writing in workshop seminars. Students develop critical expertise and technical language to better discuss works-in-progress. Previous experience in fiction is not required, but the student is expected to be proficient in the mechanics of writing. This course carries SUNY General Education The Arts credit.
