Course Description: Creative Non-Fiction I*

Creative Non-Fiction I*

52-2830

Student writing in Creative Non-Fiction effectively employs the elements of fiction writing-- use of scene, dialogue, character, story, imagery, and metaphor-- to express personal experiences, as well as social, ethical, and political ideas. Students in the Creative Non-Fiction course will develop skills as writers which will enable them to write from a personal ethos, and to develop their authentic voices. Students will read from the many sub-genres of creative nonfiction: personal essays, memoirs, travelogues, political arguments, and cultural critiques.
