About the event

The Personal Essayist as Storyteller
The personal essayist choosing a narrative approach is, in effect, a nonfiction storyteller. This class with Rebecca McClanahan focuses on generating effective personal essays through the use of narrative techniques such as establishing the narrator’s stance and point-of-view, setting the scene, monitoring the timeline, pacing events, and choosing when and how to reveal information. The first four sessions will include craft instruction, class discussion of assigned readings, and writing assignments illustrating various narrative techniques. The final two sessions will be devoted to guided feedback on manuscripts that are generated from the assignments.

NOTE: There will be no class on Thursday, October 2. Class will meet Sep. 18 and 25; and Oct. 9, 16, 23 and 30.
