This topic will encourage students to write prose or poetry creatively in a collaborative atmosphere. A prepared series of writing exercises will provide the initial motivation for writing in preparation of each workshop. Students will be expected to have completed substantial drafts, submitted a week in advance, for each workshop session which will be devoted in part to considered and annotated responses to each draft from all involved. There will also be opportunities for students to work closely with published writers in selected workshop sessions on the crafting of writing.
