Getting Started in Creative Nonfiction

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 Capital Campaign.
