ENG 111 - Creative Writing: Nonfiction


True stories, well told. Creative nonfiction is like jazz-a mix of flavors, ideas, techniques. Some are new; others as old as writing itself. We are story, essay, journal article, research paper, reported journalism, memoir, even poem; personal or not, or all of the above. In this course, we will read examples and tell our own stories as well as other people’s. We’ll operate in part as a studio devoted to writing; we’ll discuss what we read and explore craft and technique. We will workshop our own work. We may engage in special projects like environmental, science and public health research and writing. Students submit a final publication-ready portfolio.

For Creative Writing minors, this course counts as one of the introductory courses.
