Creative Nonfiction III

In creative nonfiction and memoir writing, the workshop can be particularly supportive and helpful as writers not only get practical help crafting their work from unbiased perspectives, they also share their stories with an encouraging audience who will notice and remark on thematic elements the writer might not have considered. In this class, we will deepen our practice with creative nonfiction forms by working with a new or established draft of a story or essay in a workshop setting. The teacher will provide revision exercises, publishing knowledge, and tips on how to run and maintain a writing workshop so the students can feel more confident facilitating their own. This course is designed for students who have taken Creative Nonfiction 1 and 2, but anyone can enroll.
