This unit is an advanced study of the theory and practice of creating works of fiction. The unit is informed by the study of adventurous and innovative texts. Concepts explored in those works will be used by students in developing their creativity and range of skills and approaches to writing fiction. Students must be prepared to do considerable practical work in tutorials, or online in the case of off campus students. Each student will submit a complete original work or works of fiction. This work may be presented in a number of forms for example, short story, hypertext, fiction for installation or exhibition.
