ONLINE: Getting Started in Creative Nonfiction
media release: So you want to try writing creative nonfiction—How to get started? Spend two hours exploring ideas and planning your approach. We’ll talk about finding writable story ideas; deploying the “Three Ps of Research”—people, places, and paper; and finding your preferred style of storytelling. Are you a “fly on the wall” observational writer, a first-person memoirist, or a creator of lyric essays where style contributes to substance? In-class writing prompts will help you prepare to face the blank page with enthusiasm as you start your next CNF project.
Proceeds from this workshop will help fund Arts+Literature Laboratory’s ALL in for the Arts Campaign.
