Finding Your Authority in Nonfiction
All Levels | Examine strategies writers use to maintain authority while not-knowing, and how this essential risk can lead to greater vulnerability, complexity, and artistic surprise. We’ll read Yiyun Li, Brian Blanchfield, and Elissa Washuta, and study the ways they build essays larger than what they’re “about.” We’ll draft new nonfiction, starting from what we don’t know and digging deeper each session, workshopping as we go, practicing how to open our work to diverse ways of knowing and not-knowing.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through the end of 2020.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
