“Creative nonfiction” can be a very wide umbrella term that spans multiple forms of writing: personal essay, memoir, cultural criticism, journalism, hybrid forms, and more.
The Creative Nonfiction Toolkit with Hannah Bae will meet on Monday evenings from August 2nd–September 20th, at 6:00 PM–8:30 PM ET. This 8-week workshop, fit for BIPOC writers of all levels and backgrounds, will offer a survey of these types of writing, breaking down elements of craft, as well as the practical business of pitching, revising, and publishing nonfiction work. There will be assigned readings every week that will, in the latter weeks of the class, include workshop submissions from fellow students.
The first will be a concise potential pitch for a nonfiction piece based on information that we will cover and then compose in class
The second will be a nonfiction piece in progress no longer than 1,500 words. Workshops are always optional, and we understand if this process isn’t helpful for every writer.
Classes will be a mix of close reading, generative writing exercises, and workshop.
This workshop is open to all writers of color. This class is now full! There is one scholarship spot available. The deadline to apply for the scholarship is Monday, July 12th. See the class page for more information.
