Creative Writing

Would you like to hone your writing skills and discover creative ways of writing? Or have you perhaps always dreamed of becoming a writer? This course provides you with the tools and knowledge to put your creative ideas on paper, whether in fictional or non-fictional forms. We will specifically focus on two very popular short genres: the short story and the personal essay.
The course combines 1) hands-on creative writing workshop with 2) in-class discussions of short stories and essays by world-renowned authors and academic literature on aspects of creative writing such as genre, plot, beginning and endings, character, setting, point of view, narration, texture and pace, argumentation, and style.
The classes are taught by academic experts in literature and creative writing, who are also accomplished short story and essay writers themselves.
