USGG 3014 - Creative Writing: Writing about travel (0 Credit Hours)

An introductory creative writing course with an emphasis on writing inspired by or about the travel experience. Students may customize their writing projects to the genre of their choice (poetry, short fiction, short creative nonfiction), and some time will be devoted to reading and discussing from all three genres brief samples of published work about and inspired by travel experiences. The focus of the course will be on how you can use the travel experience to produce creative projects of your own while in Ireland, and on how you can continue developing your creative writing process after returning home. While class workshoping and instructor feedback will be delivered under the premise that this is an introductory course for a student with little prior experience in creative writing, students of varying ability and experience are welcome.
