Creative Nonfiction I

This class will help you decide the best way to tell the nonfiction story you want to tell. We will discover the true topic of our pieces and how to most effectively explore those topics through points of view, scene, reflection, and form. Using generative writing, reading, and an introduction to the workshop model, we will investigate our personal stories. Students will generate 15–20 pages, which will be shared in workshop, and will receive extensive instructor feedback.

Registration dates:
