In this course, we shall work together to create fiction for young adults in a global context. We will identify the key characteristics of young adult fiction as well as the key issues of global reach that interest young adults and then build fictional stories around them. We will pay attention to elements of a good story like characterization, point of view and setting as we explore myriad plot lines to work with. Drawing inspiration from sample young adult fiction which we will examine in considerable detail, we will create our own fiction (however short it will be) in a workshop environment.
