What To Do
Step 1: The Draft
Create a new .doc or .docx file. Include the following:
An MLA-formatted heading in the top left corner (your name, instructor’s name, class name, date)
Your last name and page numbers in the top right corners (see the Syllabus page’s “Formatting Assignments” for a guide if you don’t know how to create these)
Use 12 pt Times New Roman font overall (you may use different fonts in poetry if you have a reason for using them)
Step 2
Under your heading, add the following:
The first 2-3 pages of a short story (fiction)Your short story should be double spaced and have a working title.
The story’s topic/subject matter is up to you, and should somehow speak back to what we did in the “Creator’s Subject” Module–personal passions, places, culture/history, the everyday, and transitions or liminality are all good jumping off points for your story. However, your story cannot be for children, and cannot be fanfiction.
AND
2-3 pages of poetry
Write multiple poems, enough to fill at least 2 pages. Strive for variety when it comes to craft; use rhyme in some, but not others, play with form, experiment with different rhythms and meters in each, etc.
Poetry should be single spaced. Boldface your poem titles, and leave a little white space between each poem—enough to show readers where one poem ends and the next one begins.
Topics/subject matter is up to you. Your poetry may have a singular theme that all share, or you may explore multiple themes. They should somehow speak back to what we did in the “Creator’s Subject” Module–personal passions, places, culture/history, the everyday, and transitions or liminality are all good jumping off points for your poetry.
A content warning is REQUIRED if your submission contains potentially problematic material. See the Workshop Content Warning page for more details.
