Creative Nonfiction Workshop

X140 (2 semester units in English)

This workshop provides an opportunity for writers to apply the techniques of storytelling to nonfiction prose pieces, including personal essays, features, commentary, reviews, reports, journal entries, and memoirs. Together, the instructor and other participants form your audience, offering support and critical feedback about your pieces. Weekly class discussions and writing assignments focus on such story principles as plot, tension, scene, and dialogue that help you increase the readability of your work and form your material into publishable pieces. Enrollment in the classroom section is limited to 18.
