| Welcome to the world of novel writing. Writing a novel is no easy feat, to be sure, though when divided among the twelve weeks of this course, we’ll have a far more manageable task. Each week will consist of a writing assignment emphasizing that particular week’s writing lesson, as well as your writing a 2,000–2,500 portion of your novel. |
| Beyond the basics of good writing lie the more creative elements – skills that elevate the craft of writing to the art of writing. Take your creative writing to the next level – no matter what type of writing you do. Learn techniques to add depth, texture, and emotion to your writing. |
| Give voices and stories to the characters that fill your imagination. Whether your fantasies take the form of short stories or a novel, this workshop prepares you to write fiction. You will apply the techniques that generations of fiction writers have used to bring their characters and stories to life. You will also develop your individual style and creative expression. |
| Whether you work with computers, chemicals, clients or cogs, as a technical writer you have different needs than the casual business writer. This workshop will take you beyond the basics of business writing to help you prepare: Correspondence, Media releases, Reports and Proposals, Instruction Manuals, and Presentations. |
| Do you remember the difference between the 8 parts of speech, and how to use them? Are you comfortable with punctuation and mechanics? No matter what type of writing you do, mastering the fundamentals of grammar and mechanics is an important first-step to having a successful writing career. |
