ENG 6939 Spring 2022 Stuckey-French

This course will focus on the novel-writing process. Come prepared to discuss a novel you’re already working on, even if that novel is only in the planning stages. If you’re fairly far into a draft of a novel, this class is meant to help you shake up that draft so you can see it in a new light. We will discuss sections of your novel in class and use exercises to tighten and intensify your plot, bring your characters into focus, explore your settings, and more. We also analyze published novels and for inspiration and craft ideas. Students will give group presentations on these novels.
