MCW 461-DL : Nonfiction Workshop

Description

Creative nonfiction workshops may focus on essays, memoirs, cultural criticism, literary journalism, nature or travel writing or related forms. Discussions center on student work along with analysis of a wide variety of selected readings. The class examines modes of creative nonfiction, authorial distance, structure, aspects of style and other elements of craft. Students will submit their work for review and revision (generally two 10-20 pp submissions). (See syllabus for the focus of each particular workshop.)

This course requires attendance at weekly remote sessions.
