The hallmarks of Creative, Literary or Narrative Nonfiction are
truth and personal presence. The genre includes subjective and
objective streams, and encompasses memoir, autobiography, biography,
history, adventure, travel, and true crime. The writer of nonfiction
employs memory, imagination, analysis, and research, and adapts literary
techniques from fiction, journalism, and the essay. This craft-oriented
course aims to enhance your ability to tell true stories.
