ENC 5317 Spring 2019 Horack
ENC 5317 is a graduate workshop in narrative nonfiction writing. This class will follow the workshop model, and therefore student work will be our main focus. Over the course of the semester students will be required to share at least three essay-length manuscripts (one revision and two new pieces). This course assumes you have a serious interest in narrative nonfiction writing, as well as in discussing the writing of same with others who are likewise engaged. Our concerns are mainly practical and craft-based: where you as author wish to go with a particular draft, and how we, as readers and writers engaged in a common cause, might help you get there.
Requirements: For MFA students, this course satisfies 3 of the required 12-15 hours of writing workshops. For PhD students, it counts toward the 27 hours of required coursework. This course fulfills 3 credit hours of the academic requirement for the graduate Certificate in Editing and Publishing. If a student has already met the academic requirement, the course can count for additional credits toward the 12-hour Certificate.
