ENC 3310-0006 Spring 2025 - Okonkwo

In this course, we will focus on the narrative techniques employed in writing creative nonfiction. We will explore the use of scenes, characterization, tone, dialogue and form to create a cohesive narrative that encapsulates a thoroughly conscious subjective truth. Over the course of the semester, we will study works of creative nonfiction from contemporary writers such as Natasha Trethewey, Carmen Maria Machado, and David Foster Wallace. We will then employ all we have learnt in our own creative works. Pieces generated will be workshopped in class.
