American Writers in Paris

Get out of your creative slump by writing in Paris this summer. Learn from your peers and listen to great works from other writers as you take a cruise on the River Seine. See your writing grow as you walk the bustling city of lights. The course, taught by UM faculty member Ann Fisher-Wirth, is open to all majors. Students will earn 3 hours of credit for ENGL 498.
