Telling One Story to Tell Another: Nonfiction of Depth and Width
All Levels | Whether you’re working on a memoir or a long essay, this will help you find a fresh way to frame your narrative. Like a Rothko painting with several bandwidths of color, your book or essay can possess more than one story and resonate beyond your original intention. We will cover braiding, urgency, and narrative delay. This course is for anyone struggling with structure. Each participant will leave with a new draft of a chapter or essay.
