This course will encourage students to view their work in context to the larger body of contemporary nonfiction published in online and print communities. Students will develop awareness of their own unique voice through the crafting of artist statements. Students will use revision strategies and feedback from peers to shape their work so that it is ready for public presentation. Students will study craft essays and interviews that discuss how writing is brought to publication. Student work may be represented as shorter or longer pieces in memoir, essay, lyric, hybrid or other nonfiction forms and genres. Students will be exposed to contemporary works through visiting authors, and the study of online magazines, literary magazines, and other print sources for nonfiction.
