Requisite(s): 50123 Narrative Writing OR 50243 Narrative Writing OR 57041c Advanced Narrative Writing
Professional Strand – Writing – 300 level

Genre writing offers students the opportunity to work in a specific fictional genre (fantasy, crime, writing for children, romance). The class focuses on the students' own writing, but critical and exemplary texts are additionally used to explore the codes, conventions, structures and possibilities of genre. The genre studied varies from semester to semester. The theoretical implications of generic form, the ways in which those forms may be expanded and subverted, the historical significance of the various genres and their literary and popular histories are all considered.
