Course Description

Course Focus: Submitting Prose to Literary Journals. Students in this course must have workshopped a short piece of prose writing--fiction (short story or flash fiction), creative nonfiction (personal essay, lyric essay, or flash nonfiction), or prose poem (paragraph format with no line breaks or stanzas)--in a previous MFA class that is ready to be polished for submission to literary journals. Coursework includes researching journals, workshopping from an editor's perspective, final proofreading and polishing to prepare work for publication, writing an author's bio, and submitting work to at least one literary journal.
