Introduces students to creative writing and narrative through the art and techniques of short-form narrative prose fiction.
How do writers of great fiction create their work? What steps do they take to improve their writing and connect with agents and publishers - and, most important of all, what means do they use to give readers the best experience possible?
Through a series of lectures, in-depth readings and practical writing exercises, this course will answer these questions and assist you in finding ways to develop and improve your creative writing. You will study many examples of short narrative-based fiction, leading into the creation of your own work. This strong practice-based approach will augment the theory and real-world examples of the writing life that you will receive.ﾠ
Please note that WRIT1110 is a first-level component of theﾠMajor and the Extended Major in Writingﾠwithin the BA degree, but is also available to other students as an elective orﾠas part of a minor in Writing.
Your course leader and lecturer is Associate Professor Venero Armanno, a nationally and internationally published author of award-winning stories, anthologies and novels. He is also a trained scriptwriter.

Task description
We strongly recommend you prepare for and attend all tutorials.
Definition: This assessment involves completing the readings before tutorials and writing a 150-200 word response to a set question about the readings that are provided in tutorials. During the semester there will be ten readings provided to students (worth one point each for a total possible of ten points) and each will require a written response to be uploaded. Students must submit their response by Friday, 4pm of each required week. The list of stories and submission times will be listed in BlackBoard.
Rationale: Consistent preparation for tutorials and engagement with the readings leads to better learning and writing outcomes, and more productive and enjoyable learning experiences. Through responding to set questions, writing students are challenged to consider writerly techniques in an academic and personal way, and gain highly valued and distinctive skills in critical thinking, evidence-based learning, and creative and professional writing - crucial skills required and highly valued by many workplaces.
Preparation: Because of our focus on reading, analysis and creative writing, we expect students will come to tutorials well-prepared i.e. having read the set stories and developed some ideas and questions. This will ensure students are individually prepared and ready to respond to a set question or series of set questions provided in class, therefore contributing to class discussions and ensuring each tutorial will be a valuable learning experience. Students will receive the weekly story (or stories) to be read via each teaching week’s Learning Resources folder within BlackBoard, then will complete a Reading Response in class which will then be uploaded for assessment.
This assessment task evaluates students' abilities, skills and knowledge without the aid of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Translation (MT). Students are advised that the use of AI or MT technologies to develop responses is strictly prohibited and may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
Submission guidelines
Each Reading Response will be submitted via the ten submission tabs in the "Weekly Reading Responses" folder of BlackBoard.
Deferral or extension
You cannot defer or apply for an extension for this assessment.
Please note: this is a class assessment item and students are NOT able to apply for an extension via the Unitask portal. If you cannot attend your tutorial because of circumstances that would support an essay extension (see UQ guidelines on extensions here), then you can contact your tutor before your scheduled tutorial to arrange the completion of the reading response task within 24 hours of your scheduled tutorial: in these circumstances, if your reading response meets the criteria you can earn 1 mark.
Late submission
A penalty of 10% of the maximum possible mark will be deducted per 24 hours from time submission is due for up to 7 days. After 7 days, you will receive a mark of 0.

Task description
Task instructions for Writing Exercise 1 (WE1) – Character & Characterisation
This task is comprised of 2 parts: a) Story and b) Exegesis.
Please Note:
If both parts of this task are not attempted then a grade of 3 is the highest mark you can receive for this assessment item.
a) Story
Develop the Week 3 tutorial writing exercise “Explicit Characterisation” into a 500-word story (+/- 10%). Your story should be complete and work as a piece of flash fiction.
Therefore:
Use explicit characterisation (writing in THIRD PERSON only) where we meet the character and learn important details of their situation (desire & conflict).
- In the early sentences concentrate on the character’s physical description.
- Then report the character’s actions as they undertake some kind of task.
- As you develop your paragraphs, either describe the character’s state of mind (e.g. his/her/their hunger would never be satisfied) – or as a narrator comment in a judgmental way on the character (e.g. they/she/he was a mean individual and always had been).
- Reveal more about character by showing how this individual deals with and responds to the conflict encountered. What decisions — choices — are made? And...
- How do these affect the outcome?
b) Exegesis
- Write a 200-word response explaining how your original short story employs characterisation in similar or different ways to at least one of the short stories studied as a set text in class.
- For the Exegesis remember to use literary terms and sustain a formal, academic tone.
Your electronic submission of this assessment task constitutes your understanding and agreement to the plagiarism statement.

Task description
Task instructions for Writing Exercise 2 (WE2) – Character & Setting
This task is comprised of 2 parts: a) Story and b) Exegesis.
Please Note:
If both parts of this task are not attempted then a grade of 3 is the highest mark you can receive for this assessment item.
a) Story
Task Description: Using Character and Setting Together
Write a 700-word micro-story using as inspiration the idea of a “Stranger in a Strange Land”.
Writing in FIRST PERSON only, your character encounters a setting that they/she/he doesn’t know at all. This could be:
- a real place, say a new town, city or country;
- a fantasy setting;
- an alternate reality in our world;
- a past or future Earth.
Use your imagination about how they got there and why!
Remember to write in FIRST PERSON narration (not second or third person).
Your character soon meets and interacts with a new character who DOES know this strange land. The new character provides important information that the original character reflects upon and, most importantly, acts upon. This action brings about a surprising resolution to the story.
- Be descriptive, especially in terms of creating your setting.
- Make sure to use dialogue, action and conflict.
- Look for an interesting and unexpected resolution.
- Work on your story's “internal logic”, that is, ensure the parameters of this new world are consistent and make sense.
b) Exegesis
- Write a 200-word response explaining how your original short story employs setting in similar or different ways to at least one of the short stories studied in class as a set text (your selection must be different to the story you chose for the first written assignment).
- Remember to use literary terms and sustain a formal, academic tone.
Your electronic submission of this assessment task constitutes your understanding and agreement to the plagiarism statement.
This assessment task evaluates students' abilities, skills and knowledge without the aid of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Translation (MT).

Your Final Short Story
Weight: 50%

Your story must be an original work, complete and well-developed. You may choose a topic and genre of your choice, demonstrating your ability to employ the tools of narrative as addressed in the course.

Learning resources
You'll need the following resources to successfully complete the course. We've indicated below if you need a personal copy of the reading materials or your own item.
Library resources
Library resources are available on the UQ Library website.
Additional learning resources information
This semester there is no set text for WRIT1110. Instead, the short stories you will need will be made available as PDFs via BlackBoard, usually on a weekly basis. These stories will become the basis of the Reading Responses students will need to complete, and will be discussed and analysed in lectures and tutorials.
Please also remember that one of the best ways to learn about writing (other than to write in your own time, a lot) is to read more, both within and outside the genres you might normally like. Reading high quality articles and reviews is also very helpful and is encouraged, so please aim to read widely as part of this course - and through your ongoing studies.
