Advanced Writing Studio (AWS-UF)

This course involves the advanced study and practice of writing in a specific genre, which varies by section. (See Topic and Notes below.) During a transition period (2026-2027), Advanced Writing Studio courses fall under two categories: Advanced Creative Writing and Advanced Professional Writing. In either case, the course will involve the study and practice of one mode or genre of writing (e.g., short stories, poetry, literary adaptation, food writing, journalism, translation, etc) and will incorporate the study of several traditions in which the particular mode or genre is practiced and studied globally. All classes will involve the student in some form of collaboration and will feature guest speakers notable in their fields. The final project will involve the preparation of a piece (or, depending on the genre, portfolio) of writing suitable for publication submission. Course repeatable for credit. Counts toward the GLS minor and the LSxMSPW Guaranteed Admissions Pathway.
