Title: SPECIAL TOPIC IN CREATIVE WRITING: YOUNG ADULT WRITING

Section: 01

Semester: Fall - 2024

Credits: 3

Description:
The success of books like The Fault in Our Stars, Twilight, and The Hunger Games have brought young adult literature into the spotlight in recent years, creating a boom in publishing and changing the way we view coming-of-age stories. This course is designed to introduce students to the elements and techniques that go into crafting a young adult narrative. We’ll look at contemporary and classic writings, as well as explore techniques, styles, and writing exercises designed to develop a YA story. From speculative trilogies to coming-of-age contemporary novels, students will analyze published work, produce original YA writing of their own, participate in the workshop process, and learn about the larger YA writing community.
