The Art of Writing

University of Washington Professional and Continuing Education ETPL

Want to improve your creative writing, but not sure where to begin? This course will introduce you to essential principles and practices you can use to produce creative writing that’s worth reading.

We’ll begin by exploring how to write from life. We’ll look at how to generate imagery and manage details to create a strong sense of realism. We’ll cover writing forms and best procedures to craft creative nonfiction essays and memoir, as well as short stories with scenes that dramatize conflict and make best use of dialogue. In the end, you’ll understand the qualities of good writing, and you’ll have the skills to edit and rewrite to refine your own work.
