LIT 563 - Advanced Process Mentorship In Multiple Genres


Multi Genre students or MFA Program Director consent
Credits: 2
Co-requisites: CW 563  
Delivery mode: Online
Degree/Program: Multi Genre students or MFA Program Director consent
This course focuses on reading and craft analysis in multiple genres in support of a student’s creative work with particular emphasis on the borderlands between genres, including cross-genre and hybrid work. This course stretches boundaries, inspires new ideas, encourages experimentation, and gives students the opportunity to explore genres that are unfamiliar. 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. Multiple Genre students repeat this course for three semesters. Students in other genres can repeat this course with the MFA Program Director’s permission.
