[Kim Jefferies]

A new class is being offered this fall:  English 485-Forms and Genres,
is a creative writing course and will focus on fantasy fiction.

The only prerequisite is English 102 (1302).

Fantasy Fiction incudes contemporary fantasy, fables, fairy tales,
epic/high fantasy, low fantasy, comic fantasy, heroic fantasy, mythic
fiction, urban fantasy, historical fantasy, sword and sorcery, dark
fantasy, horror, wuxia, military fantasy, steampunk fantasy, erotic
fantasy, fantasy of manners, magical realism, paranormal romance or
romantic fantasy, superhero fantasy, and more-and any of these
sub-genres may be primarily written for an audience of children, or
young adults, or adults!

The class is: 

 --Taught completely online.

 --No required textbooks (I provide lists of online resources on writing
and publishing your work, and you provide knowledge of your favorite
fantasy fiction).

 --Process and workshop oriented:  you write drafts, get feedback, and
revise.  You'll be working in workshop groups with other students
writing  similar fantasy genres.

 --You can work on a short story or two, or part of a novel.

 --We'll be playing with a free writing software program that is
available  online.
