What’s Creative Nonfiction and Why You Should Definitely Try It!
Monday, February 21, 2022.
On Zoom, 6-7:15 PM, EST.
Join this event to learn more about creative nonfiction, one of the most dynamic forms of creative writing happening today! Creative nonfiction is a whole different species than the five-paragraph school essay or argument paper. It’s nonfiction—so it always stays on the side of truth—but it uses the devices of fiction (dialog, setting,sensory detail, backstory, imagery, foreshadowing) to tell a story. In this workshop, we read inspiring examples. Participants begin a piece of flash nonfiction. All participants are encouraged to submit their creative nonfiction to Under the Madness.
Participants must be 13-19 years old. We welcome teen writers working in English from around the planet!
