Creative Writing: Non-Fiction

Students will study the forms and techniques of the personal essay. While students will analyse samples from a variety of professional writers, the focus of the course will be on the development of the students' own writing abilities. Students will keep a creative journal and will produce two 6-10 page personal essays. They will be encouraged to submit work for publication and to participate in public readings.
