Description

Weekly workshop-seminar sessions and tutorials will engage students in identifying and exploring the specific genre of Creative Non-Fiction, with the goal of using such literary works as foundations for an examination of advanced principles in producing successful communicative writing (with an emphasis on the 鈥渃reative鈥 element).听

The ten-week module is based around an exploration of sub-genres of the form, with class discussion time given over to considering the personal essay and memoir; literary journalism (鈥渘ew journalism鈥); observational/descriptive essays and travel writing, for example. A reading list of creative non-fiction texts is used as the basis for workshop-seminar discussions and example technique texts and as the springboard for in-depth critical analyses.听

During workshop-seminars, students will engage in peer assessment, providing oral and written critiques of classmates鈥 creative nonfiction writing (submitted on a rotating weekly basis). Weekly one-to-one tutorials (on a rota basis) will also be provided to enable ongoing tutor feedback and allow for further detailed, personal critique and ongoing development of an individual student鈥檚 creative writing and practice.听

Students will produce, as part of this module, an extended piece of creative nonfiction writing; an in-depth literary critical analysis of a text selected from the reading list; and a Creative Non-Fiction podcast.听
