CRW 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. Students submit a final publication-ready portfolio. This course counts towards the Creative Writing minor. It does not count towards the English major or English minor.

Formerly ENG 111. Students who have already passed ENG 111 cannot receive credit for CRW 111 and should not take this course.
