Course Number: CRWR 224

Distance Education - Web

You've been working on short stories, a novel, a memoir or creative nonfiction essays, and you're ready to polish and hone your work. The Advanced Fiction Workshop is an interactive, online, writer-centred class, in which writers focus on improving dialogue, plot lines and thematic elements in their work in a supportive yet critical group environment. You'll learn essential tips on how to edit and revise to create sophisticated pieces of writing that will draw (and keep) an editor's attention. This is an excellent opportunity to improve your craft and get ideas on where to place your work in the Canadian publishing industry. No grades are given for this course.

Students who complete this course are invited to submit their work for consideration for entry to the Creative Writing Summer Workshop. If they are accepted, they will receive a 10 per cent discount on tuition.

Faculty: Jenna Kalinsky received her MFA from Columbia University. Her work appears in literary and commercial magazines, and in the bestselling The Modern Jewish Girl's Guide to Guilt. In her work, Jenna explores relationships in writing systems - from serving and challenging form, character and plot, to balancing the narrative and the lyric - to create compelling and imaginative fiction, nonfiction and poetry.
