Virtual Workshop in Creative Nonfiction for Teens

 

What’s Creative Nonfiction and Why Teen Writers Should Definitely Try It!

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 teen participants are encouraged to submit their creative nonfiction to Under the Madness.

About Workshop Presenter: Alexandria Peary's creative nonfiction has appeared in The Gettysburg Review, Southern Humanities Review, New England Review, Brick, Green Mountains Review, and the Cimarron Review. Her creative nonfiction has received Pushcart Prize and several Best of the Net nominations, as well as appearing as Notable Essay in Best American Essay 2021. Alex teaches creative nonfiction at Salem State University.

WHEN: Feb 21, 2022 6:00 PM, EST, on Zoom
