Do you love writing? Do you want to write fiction but don't know where to start? This course is an introduction to fiction writing focusing on how to craft characters that push your story forward and that an audience will fall in love with! We will discuss character development, how character drives narrative, and what makes a good protagonist. There will be writing time and a prompt, in addition to a lesson.

Join us for a poetry workshop with Helicon, Northwestern's literary and the arts publication. Students will bring their own work to be reviewed by peers. In this class we will also teach the important aspects of being a positive workshop participant and how to provide constructive feedback. We will also go over key techniques of a poem (diction, meter, rhyme, metaphors/figurative language, alliteration, imagery).
