Everyone has a story to tell. In this 6-week class, we will generate new material as well as learn about the fundamentals of creative nonfiction, including vivid descriptions, writing what we don't know, research, structure, revision, and publication. Participants will be expected to complete some writing and reading assignments outside of class.
