LIT 562 - Advanced Process Mentorship In Creative Nonfiction


A Vision of All Possibilities
Credits: 2
Prerequisites: MFA Program Director consent
Co-requisites: CW 562  
Delivery mode: Online
Degree/Program: Creative Nonfiction students
This course focuses on reading and craft analysis in the genre of creative nonfiction in support of a student’s creative work. In each monthly packet submitted to the mentor, students are required to include a bibliography, annotations in response to about half to a third of the readings, and a first or final draft of an analysis essay exploring craft in a literary work. By the end of the semester, students have compiled a reading list of 10-15 titles relevant to their own writing process. There are four packet exchanges with the mentor per semester. Creative nonfiction students can repeat this course. Students take mentorships in their chosen genre(s) of emphasis and are only allowed to enroll in elective mentorships with permission of the MFA Program Director.
