For writers of personal nonfiction, your life is your material. But what transforms the material of daily life into art is the shape it takes on the page. Drawing from the work of writers such as Lidia Yuknavitch and Jane Alison, we'll explore more than a dozen experimental nonfiction forms to break out of the "three-act story structure" and render our experiences in exciting new ways.
Students should have some basic familiarity with the genre of nonfiction.
