Most of us reach high school having read lots of fiction, but this workshop delves into the exciting world of creative nonfiction--including literary memoir, personal essays both with/without reporting, and narrative nonfiction.
Which fascinating characters, themes, and sources of tension already exist within your own life, and how can you channel them creatively? What real-world phenomenon are you curious about, and what will it take to learn more, then convey your newfound knowledge to your readers?
Explore these questions as you creatively craft original non-fiction stories. We will begin with readings, discussions, and short in-class writing exercises. By the second week, workshop writing that you've produced during our time together. Prepare to edit, revise... and perhaps even submit for publication!
