Overview of class

Students will start the first class with 10-20 page double spaced and paginated excerpt from a work-in-progress (# of copies TBA). The class will take this as a starting point to develop your manuscript from within. Focus will be on narrative drive, building tropes, activating scenes, nonfiction as the "story of an idea," durational issues in unfolding the reading experience, and place.
