Discovering Oneself: Creative Nonfiction Writing
About the Event
Friday, January 24
9-10 PM ET
virtual event; open to all mentees, mentors & members
Creative nonfiction, especially personal essays, comes in many different forms from memoir to nature writing to lyric essays. In this studio we’ll delve into these many different forms through reading and prompts as a way to discover more about ourselves and the complex world we live in.
This month, we’ll explore strategies for writing about other people in creative nonfiction by viewing and discussing Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s “Danger of a Single Story” and Philip Lopate’s “Ethics of Writing About Other People.” Then you’ll get a chance to practice through a writing prompt.
