No Fooling!
With the exception of science writing and technical manuals, isn’t all writing personal? Even academic writing has a personal bias; it’s built around a thesis meant to persuade.
In this workshop, we’ll examine personal expressions in Micro-memoir, Commentary (spoken for radio or written on the page), Blog, and Personal Essay.
Notice that I’ve left out fiction. As personal as fiction can be, for this workshop, we’ll focus on creative nonfiction. We’ll explore the style, structure, and purpose of nonfiction that makes a point, and supports its premise with the writer’s personal experience.
I look forward to helping you turn your personal writing into a powerful and satisfying practice.
