Part 1: Creative Writing
Submit a “final draft” of your story or poetry. You’ll notice that the word “final” is in quotations, here. That means that your final draft doesn’t need to be THE final draft of your work, since it’s nearly impossible to develop a complete, polished draft in only a few weeks. Instead, think of your final draft as a strong revision of your most recent rough draft that you’d continue to revise if time permitted. It does need to be as complete as you can possibly make it, however. It should be properly formatted and free of any errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Proofread your work before turning it in.
- Your final draft should be at least 6 full pages, but no more than 20 pages. (This length minimum is counted before you include the heading, title, etc.)
- Fiction writers: you may double space your short story
- Poetry writers: your poems should be single spaced, but with space (or something else) in between each so it’s clear where they end/begin. Try to give a title to each poem, too.
- Your final draft should be heavily revised (not the same exact draft that you submitted for Workshop 4, please!)
- Include your MLA heading on the first page, your last name with page numbers in the top right corners, a title for your “final” draft.
