Creative nonfiction: The Workshop

August 10-September 21 (no meeting August 31), Saturdays, 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. (six sessions)

$325

The writing workshop is a space where writers exchange drafts of creative work, discuss writing styles and trends and get critical feedback in an open, supportive atmosphere. In creative nonfiction and memoir writing, the workshop can be particularly supportive and helpful as writers not only get practical help crafting their work from unbiased perspectives, they also share their stories with an encouraging audience who will notice and remark on thematic elements the writer might not have considered. In this 6 week class, we will deepen our practice with creative nonfiction forms by working with a new or established draft of a story or essay in a workshop setting. The teacher will provide revision exercises, publishing knowledge, and tips on how to run and maintain a writing workshop so the students can feel more confident facilitating their own.

Access Program
We want our writing classes and Delves to be accessible to everyone, regardless of income and background. We understand that our tuition structure can present obstacles for some people. Our Access Program offers writing class and Delve tuitions at a reduced rate. Most writing classes have at least one access spot available.

Please apply here for access rate tuition. Contact Susan Moore at susan@literary-arts.org if you have questions.
