Creative Writing Family of CoursesThe four courses in the Creative Writing family develop student skills in the crafting of poetry, personal narrative, fiction, and the ongoing process of writing and revising work. Students learn from exemplar and mentor texts while providing each other with critical feedback in these workshop-focused classes. College Creative Writing adds the additional complexity of skills and competencies from DMACC’s ENG221 course.
