Writer Rosecrans Baldwin will lead this two-day workshop in which participants will learn narrative techniques to add dimension and persuasive power to their documentary writing (such as creative nonfiction, memoir, or personal essays). Topics will include fieldwork, outlining, establishing voice, and structural editing. Through collaborative discussion, students will study examples of the best contemporary creative nonfiction, and then practice what they learn through writing exercises and one-on-one discussion with the instructor.
