CRW3110-Summer 2025-Franklin

In this course we will mostly read and study contemporary flash fiction and short stories (from Flash Fiction America and Best American Short Stories 2024). We will develop a language to talk about fiction. Students will learn to be constructive critics of fiction in a workshop environment and will be prepared for Fiction Workshop, CRW4120. Occasion writing exercises will allow students to practice what they have learned and create their own set of tools and techniques to use in their writing.
