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.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
