RHET 390/3160 - Fiction writing (3 cr.)



Prerequisites
RHET 1020   or its equivalent

Description
This course focuses on the craft and discipline of fiction writing. Students study writers in the Arab and Western literary tradition, and from that study, they learn the fundamentals of rhetorical and literary strategies in fiction, understand how to transform small ideas from daily life into fiction, consider how their cultural background affects how they tell stories, and develop a broadened familiarity with cultures different from their own. Students will also learn how to critique other students’ stories in workshops, and how to revise and develop their own work.
