ENGL 200 D: Reading Literature: Literature in the Marketplace

On Monday, your 1-page (double-spaced) prospectus* is due; and I’d like you to post a version of that prospectus as your blog post for next week. The two can be pretty similar, but I’m assuming that they won’t be 100% identical, if only because you’d say things differently to your classmates than if you were saying them only to me. And I encourage you, if you want to test an idea out, to use the blog post for this purpose.

This way, even before our next round of conferences, you’ll be able to get feedback from your writing group members, and you’ll also learn sooner what they’re working on, so you’ll be better able to give feedback when we reach that next set of meetings.

*I don’t mind if you go over the limit — tell me what you can, so that I can be helpful.
