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. The IWC supports Indiana writers of all ages and backgrounds and reaches out to people whose voices are rarely heard.
