Course Description

In this semester-long intensive seminar, students are introduced to the craft and process of writing for children and/or young adults. They can choose to focus on the picture book, the novel (middle-grade or young adult), poetry, nonfiction, or a combination. Each month students do the following: (1) they complete assigned reading, annotated bibliographies, short reflective essays, and writing exercises that explore issues of craft; (2) they do extensive creative writing and revision in response to detailed feedback from faculty advisors; (3) and they write and revise short critical essays based on issues of craft or topics of interest that arose from their own creative work or from assigned reading.
