Workshop: How to Tell Your (Nonfiction) Story In-Person
Part of the 2024 To Taste Life Twice Seminar
How to Tell Your (Nonfiction) Story with Kim Cross
From memoir to personal essays, nonfiction writing often elevates a real-life experience to touch on something more expansive, some universal truth, that can inspire, amuse, or help others. In this workshop, learn how to identify, write, and refine a personal story that's "not just about you." Craft tips will focus on cinematic scenes, story structure, and revision with "literary forensics."
