Creative Nonfiction Workshop

Catalog description

This course will introduce students to the art and craft of writing creative nonfiction for publication. Students will focus on three subgenres within the discipline: reportage (editorial writing), the personal essay, and travel writing. The course is conducted as a workshop; thus, students will submit drafts of their work to their classmates, receive verbal and written feedback, and revise accordingly. Towards the end of the course, students will develop a portfolio of their work for grading and submit at least one revised work to a journal or magazine for publication.
