Summary:
These 24 half-hour lectures lead you on a path to more engaging and effective writing. One of the keys to effective writing is understanding literary genres and the ways their unique styles and characteristics can shape and inform your own voice. The first lectures of the course guide you through the five major literary genres: fiction, essay, poetry, drama, and autobiography. From there, the focus shifts to
rhetoric
which helps you become a stronger writer by calling your attention to the basics of compelling analytical writing. The final section of the course is a step-by-step guide through the writing process that provides answers to frequently asked questions about each of writing's four major stages: researching, writing a first draft, editing, and rewriting.
