Memoir and all creative nonfiction is the work of memory and craft, style and substance. In this class, we will move toward uncovering the true stories about ourselves and the world and telling them well. We will learn, through published texts and writing exercises and assignments, how creative nonfiction writers include vivid characterization, narrative structure, dialogue, imagery, and voice to a wide range of stories, including memoir, personal essays, profile pieces, travelogues, literary journalism, and more. Each member of the class will have the opportunity to submit creative work for review/workshop with constructive and supportive feedback.

Please note: This class is an online class. To participate, students must have a stable internet connection with a computer or device with a webcam and microphone.
