Advanced Creative Writing: Character, Setting, and the Short Story
You already know what a lede is. You know how to hook a reader. Now it is time to write the story itself — from the first character who walks onto the page to the moment the conflict resolves and the reader turns the last line over in their mind.
Through the Dean's guide and Stephen Alter's published writing, you will develop story sense: the craft of knowing when to reveal, when to withhold, and how to make every scene earn its place in the arc.
