| Instructor's comments about the book list: I encourage you to purchase these (and all) required course texts from the Odyssey, a locally-owned independent bookstore when possible. Writers need to be aware of the economic ramifications of ordering books from Amazon. See this article for more information and resources: http://www.newrepublic.com/article/119769/amazons-monopoly-must-be-bro ken-radical-plan-tech-giant But of course we writers also have our own economic contingencies. All required texts for the course are on 3 hour reserve at the library. If you need additional help, contact me privately about alternate arrangements--I sometimes have a spare copy. Please note: I will add one or two more titles once I have more information about visitors. |
