This seven-week series is recommended for writers with works of nonfiction in progress or ideas for true stories they want to tell. We will spend most of our time discussing and offering feedback on class members’ creative nonfiction pieces, while also studying contemporary published nonfiction and gleaning what we can borrow from it.

Lucy Jayes holds an MFA from the University of Kentucky and was the winner of the Betsy Owen Combs Recruitment Scholarship, the MFA Creative Nonfiction award in 2022, and Fourth Genre’s Multimedia Essay Contest in 2023.
