This course serves as an introduction to creative nonfiction (CNF). We will look at different types of CNF, including: the personal essay, the lyric & braided essay, hermit crab essays, etc. We will examine different books and individual essays to discuss what goes into successful CNF, and how the genre employs elements of craft like characterization and plot. The course will include both critical and creative writing, as well as a workshop component in which students will share their creative work for feedback and critique.
