“Writing nonfiction is more like sculpture, a matter of shaping the research into the finished thing.”

– Joan Didion

Writing Nonfiction

“Creative nonfiction” can take so many forms: the profile or feature article, the travel piece, the review, the personal essay or memoir, and more. Compelling nonfiction transcends the mere factual. In this class, we’ll explore:

  • how to find focus within subjects of interest
  • how to research authentically, for surprising results
  • how to interview successfully, for provocative quotes
  • how to write well-structured, compelling, true prose.

Beginners and non-native speakers of English are welcome.

  • June 13 & 14, 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm

  • Taught by Lisa Friedman

  • Venue: Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam, or online - get directions
