question about writers workshop?

Question

For any writer's workshop ,well specifically University of Iowa's, there are three categories: Fiction, Poetry and Creative Writing, and after creative writing it reads "both genres plus creative nonfiction". But still, aren't they both creative writing? what's the best choice for someone who mostly likes writing fictional novels but sometimes poetry

Answer 1

Creative Writing seems to be the best because it looks like it covers everything. Why not try getting a hold of someone at the University of Iowa. They should have some kind of writing center or a professor that could answer this question better. Good luck!

Answer 2

Creative Writing

Answer 3

I suspect that the Creative Writing Course is a general overview of the writing process, whereas the fiction and poetry courses provide specific coursework aimed at the styles themselves. A general creative writing course will touch briefly on all forms of writing: fiction, poetry, essay, editorials and opinion pieces, etc.

If you have never taken a formal course, I recommend starting with Creative Writing. It will provide you with the basis to take detailed coursework in specific genres later on.
