Course description
This course will provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to research and develop fiction across a range of genres. The emphasis is on thoughtful gathering of source material, synthesising ideas, and writing and editing a substantial piece of fiction (either a short story or a chapter of a novel). A second emphasis is the theory of genre fiction, and how genres operate in the literary marketplace.
