This unit of study focuses on fiction writing and develops writing techniques and approaches to fiction practised in first year writing units of study. Students will have the opportunity to experiment and develop different genres of fiction writing, including literary fiction and genre fiction such as dystopian, speculative, horror and science fiction. Students will read and theorise fiction in the different genres, consider gender, class, race and identity, and engage with creative writing theory and practice-led research. In this unit students are asked to write, workshop and edit longer pieces of narrative fiction and to consider prospective markets for their fictional work.
