Instructor:
Katrina Simonsen
Description:

We will explore the craft of writing and investigate storytelling as a communication method, with an emphasis on personal development. Students will complete a series of short writing assignments to develop their voice, explore styles, and practice creating powerful narratives and compelling characters. We will read—and watch, and listen to—genres including poetry, fiction, essay, script, and storyboard, and discuss these sources of inspiration alongside our own written works.
