Notes: Course Repeatable for Credit. Visiting students or students without prerequisite CRWRI-UA 815 may write to creative.writing@nyu.edu to request permission to enroll. This is a course in composing short narratives the reader will want to finish. To that end, we’ll be combining workshop with lessons about craft: Seeing how the stories we love work, then discovering the ways our own good stuff can be made to work even better. Students will draft two stories, revising one. We will also absorb and hoard advice from a number of excellent sources, including one especially useful sentence by George Saunders.
