World-Building: Creating & Populating Worlds on the Page

Though we often associate world-building with fantasy, every story is made of worlds: countries, cities, neighborhoods, friend groups, and internal frameworks. Students will learn how to create and populate worlds on the page. We'll conduct exercises as a group, generate independent work, and engage with pieces by writers like Jorge Luis Borges, Eleanor Catton, Margaret Atwood, and Donna Tartt. This class is designed for writers working in any genre.
