William Jablonsky received an MFA in Creative Writing from Bowling Green State University. While Professor Jablonsky’s main focus is fiction writing, he teaches a wide variety of courses at Âé¶¹Ô­´´. In addition to the introductory and advanced fiction workshops, he also offers courses in screenwriting, genre fiction writing (specializing in science fiction, fantasy and horror) and a May term course focused on finishing your work and sending it to potential publishers.

More recently, Professor Jablonsky taught a course on deconstructionist superhero stories (that is, ones that break the traditional four-color, black-and-white mold). He is the author of a magical realist story collection, The Indestructible Man and a steampunk novel, The Clockwork Man.
