Exciting plots and larger-than-life characters are the cornerstones of popular fiction and the emphasis of this course. Whether you're writing romance, mystery, science fiction, or suspense, the principles of writing popular fiction - clear prose, characters we can empathize with, and a story that moves - are key. In this course, we'll workshop your short stories and novel chapters, explore the history of the genres, perform writing and idea-generating exercises, and discuss the magazines and publishers looking for your sort of fiction. The goal is to give you a solid grounding in the demands of popular fiction, and a better understanding of your favorite genre.
