The writing of short stories has traditionally been a starting place for writers to begin developing their craft. Initially via the short story, this unit explores the elements of fiction such as character, voice, setting, plot, dialogue, point of view and modulation. The unit then moves to investigating further elements of fiction using the novel as its focus, helping you acquire and practice skills in creative writing. In this unit you will also learn to analyse prose fiction for craft elements in a way that informs and illuminates your own work. In addition to lectures, tutorial based peer-critique workshops are a central part of this unit. Within them, in a guided and structured way, you will get and give feedback on the stories as they are being written.","title-full":"KWB104 Writing Fiction","title-short":"Writing Fiction","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=KWB104&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=KWB104","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=KWB104"},"year":2025,"years":[2024,2025]}
