HCRW-350: Creative Wrtg Minor Capstone

The capstone project is a manuscript that each Creative Writing Minor candidate builds and refines during a semester: A collection of poems, a short story or several, image/text hybrid work, a screenplay, stage play, or any combination of genres the candidate wishes to work on. Capstone Seminar offers the time, structure, support, and rigor it takes to complete such a project, plus the opportunity to engage in this process in community. Along with refining their own manuscript to its most successful iteration, each participant will be responsible for contributing to their classmates' progress through thoughtful reading and discussion. At the end of Capstone Seminar, each candidate submits a manuscript that represents the work of which they are most proud, or that they feel to be most representative of their arc of improvement from the previous other four courses of the Creative Writing Minor.
