Bly said, “No one knows what Creative nonfiction is, and therefore it can be
nearly anything.” In this 1-day workshop we’ll look at the range of topics and
formats covered by this exciting genre that’s exploding in books, magazines and
journals. We’ll read examples of both classic and experimental styles, and
you’ll test them out on your own in-class writing. This is a fun, interactive
class, so come ready to read,
Show, don’t tell, is a writing maxim we hear again
and again, yet it remains elusive to many writers. In this 2-hour class we’ll
look at clear examples of showing and telling. You’ll learn how, when,
and why to do each (yes, it’s sometimes okay to tell!), and demystify the
sometimes blurry line between the two.
