CRWR 340 - Nonfiction Workshop

FC ARHU WADV

4 credits
The writing of personal narratives, with an emphasis on nonfiction as a literary art form. Students will read work by modern and contemporary authors with an eye toward understanding the variety of modes which come under the current heading ‘creative nonfiction’ (memoir, meditation, travel, cultural critique, profile), and will be asked to employ a number of these methods and approaches in their own work. Applications to all 300s are typically due mid-semester the semester before the class; majors fill out the “300-level preference form,” while aspiring majors and minors, and all other applicants, apply to the course with a portfolio. CRWR 300-level courses are primarily for majors and aspiring minors.

Prerequisites: two 200-level CRWR courses.
