Rescheduled – Writing Nonfiction That Reads Like Fiction

About the Event

In this community studio, we’ll explore the ways in which creative storytelling techniques can be applied to nonfiction writing of all kinds, from memoir and personal essay to op-ed and how-to articles. We’ll dive into what makes a story — from structural archetypes to writing that flows — and learn how to harness the power of story to make our nonfiction compelling and transformative.

A good story is evocative and captivating—and your nonfiction can be as well! In this studio we will examine the ways in which creative writing techniques like sentence structure and POV choice can be applied at the line level to make your nonfiction writing flow and draw in your reader. After analyzing published nonfiction excerpts, we’ll do a few writing exercises of our own to apply what we’ve learned!
