The Discovery of Creative Nonfiction

with Leah McNaughton Lederman

2025-03-05 11:00:00 2025-03-05 12:30:00 America/Indiana/Indianapolis The Discovery of Creative Nonfiction The beauty of creative nonfiction is the discovery of what our memories have to tell us. Spades Park Branch -

Wednesday, March 05
11:00am - 12:30pm

The beauty of creative nonfiction is the discovery of what our memories have to tell us.

In this class we will talk about different types of creative nonfiction--what it is and what it isn't--different ways to play with structure, and tools to get started. We'll go through examples of the form then try our hand at it through the use of prompts.

This workshop is presented in partnership with the Indiana Writers Center. Check out other writing workshops at library branches this spring!

Get your creative juices flowing with this Creative Writing Inspiration list.

About the branch

The Spades Park Branch was built with funds from a $120,000 grant by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation and opened in 1912, six months after the opening of the city’s other remaining Carnegie Library, the East Washington Branch. The 7,500-square-foot branch underwent a $610,000 renovation in 1987 and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012.
