This graduate prose workshop is a place to generate new work, take risks, and question yourself and others about your writing. As you do so, you should be developing a good sense of your own passions, obsessions, and fears as writers.
Workshop methods this quarter will draw on the Critical Response Process (developed by choreographer Liz Lerman) and The Asking (developed by writer Jesse Ball), both of which focus on questions and answers designed to further each writer's intentions for and relationships their own work.
Depending on the number of students in the class, we may also devote time to a study of prose style.
MFA prose writers should contact cwriting@uw.edu for registration. MFA poets are definitely welcome to register also, but please email or chat with me before fall quarter starts.
No required books. There may be a course reader.
