“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.
March 21 & 22, 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
