ENG 383 - Advanced Topics: Novel Writing (NaNoWriMo) (1)

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) challenges writers to produce a draft of a novel in a single month’s time. This creative writing course will adopt some of the tenets of NaNoWriMo, privileging generation over revision at the early stages of the writing process and providing “structure, community, and encouragement.” In addition to producing a significant portion of a novel draft through ambitious daily word count goals, students will be introduced to the work of contemporary novelists and will reflect on the literary traditions influencing their novel. Open to students with previous experience writing fiction and an idea for a novel to begin on day one. Pre-requisite: ENG 215  and sophomore standing.
