Time: Asynchronous
Location: Private Facebook Group by invitation
Cost: IWC Members $10; Non-members: $15

In this writing group, we will read samples of creative nonfiction (mostly memoir) and excerpts from books on craft, with an eye on descriptive language, narrative style, tone, themes, word choice, etc. The first Wednesday of each month, a new reading will be posted along with a writing prompt. As the month continues, we will write and revise our work based on the class feedback and conversation. The goal is not only to get us writing but to understand the genre of creative nonfiction, the art of revision, and the power of community. Creative nonfiction writers are encouraged to join but any genre is welcome. Sometimes the best way to grow your writing skills is to study a different genre.

Before the first meeting, you will receive a link for the Facebook Group. This class is asynchronous and meets online via Facebook.
