ENG 515 Creative Non Fiction Workshop
This is a workshop course for students who have written nonfiction prose as undergraduates or who would like to focus on CNF (creative writing) at the Master’s level. Students are offered a review of CNF genre writing, and they compose manuscripts in the various styles of writing personal essays. Students have other writing options, such as beginning a lengthier manuscript (a collection of personal essays, a memoir, or a collection of critical essays). Students also read important writers in the genre, such as Camus, Ramabai, Tan, Bly, Lamott, Lopate, and Sanders.
