SW 350 - Writing is Rewriting

(Same as SW 550.) Dodge College only, or consent of instructor. Prerequisite, for Writing for Film and Television majors, SW 128. Prerequisite, for all other Dodge College majors, SW 127. Writing isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon: an ongoing process and practice of reshaping, honing, and evolving story and character. Finishing a first draft is an accomplishment, but it’s only the beginning. It’s not a final draft until you’ve rewritten it. In this course, students will learn all aspects of the artistic and professional rewriting process through lectures, in-class rewriting exercises, and guest speakers; and will be able to apply this to their own works. Letter grade. This course may be repeated for credit. (Offered as needed.) 1.5-3 credits
