Narrative non-fiction workshop at Georgetown Library

  • Georgetown Library 6680 Orleans Street Georgetown, CA, 95634 United States (map)

Journalist and author Jessica Carew Kraft (Why We Need To Be Wild: One Woman's Quest for Ancient Human Answers to 21st Century Questions) and her 15-year-old daughter, published author Simone Elias (Old Films, Young Eyes: A Teenage Take On Hollywood's Golden Age) will be teaching a course on memoir-style creative nonfiction.

How can we weave our personal experience into wider narratives in our writing? Creative nonfiction incorporates research-driven writing that springs from the real world, told with the emotionality of fiction. Kraft and Elias will share their tips for nonfiction writing, along with prompts and exercises to get you started on a more personal approach to the story you want to tell.
