Nonfiction for Social Change: ONLINE CLASS

with Frankie Finley

Monday, June 25-Friday, August 17 (times are flexible depending on participants’ schedule) – $144


Words can change the world. Writers have long used their words to criticize social institutions, call people to action, and transform mainstream social thought and, in some cases, the law. Literature creates a space for dialogue and creates opportunities for personal reflection and change or gives voice to those who have been silenced. Do you know a story that needs to be told? This class is intended for writers who are interested in exploring the creative nonfiction form, are open to engaging in peer workshops, and aren’t shy about discussing controversial topics. We will sharpen the tools needed to write engaging creative nonfiction and explore methods for giving a voice to your story. Limit: 10 participants. Online class information will be emailed prior to start of class.

“Classes offered by the Carnegie Center have been the making of me as a poet. Beginning with a workshop with Tony Crunk, proceeding through a Master Class with James Baker Hall, out of which grew the Mosaic women’s poetry group, and culminating in a long series of advanced workshops with Leatha Kendrick, I have received the most valuable training of my career. All very reasonably priced.” --- Sherry Chandler
