Fiction 117: Getting the Words Right
- Average Time Commitment per Week: Whatever it takes
- Time to Complete Course: 6 weeks
- Difficulty (1-5): 5
- Course Description:
An advanced course for those who have completed the
first draft of their novel and are now working on rewrites. You will be
using your own novel as we go through the text. This course is designed to
focus on the skills needed to revise and edit. You may work on the first
chapter of your novel or skip around to various problem areas. However,
given the time limitation, assignments will be limited to three paragraphs
per lesson. Once the course is completed, you should have the tools to
continue revising and editing your manuscript. Although the book can be
applied to other forms of writing, we will be concentrating on fiction.
Once you have completed the course, you may join in the F118 Getting the
Words Right Editing Workshop to complete a revision of your novel using the
skills learned in this class.
