Narratives of Hope
All the course pages specific to Narratives of Hope are shown below.
Also, please review the Contributor Code of Conduct, the Privacy Guidelines, and the other pages in the Basics menu at the top of this page.
The Skills area (also available via the top menu) offers practical tutorials to help you improve your writing. These pages will be particularly useful during the weeks in which you are working on your projects.
The Readings area contains many examples (written by your instructor and previously published in various places) of writing with hope. A few of these examples are showcased on the homepage. (The most hopeful example of all is likely The Jasper Queen.)
If you have questions, or if you need help, please get in touch.
