Writing Nonfiction That Reads Like Fiction
About the Event
In this community studio, join Hanna R. Neier as we 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.
Get ready to get inspired! This month, you’ll learn how to find the hook of your story and go beyond the basic “who, what, where, when, why.” We’ll debate whether it’s true that you must “write what you know” and we’ll do some brainstorming to help you mine your life—and the world around you—for great story ideas.
