Course Details

Courses that explore creative forms of non-fiction are few and far between.

However, it’s one of the most up-and-coming forms of writing in contemporary literature and some of the most talked-about books from the last few years have been works of creative non-fiction: The Outrun, The Lonely City, The Last Act of Love, So Sad Today, The Argonauts, White Girls, Between The World And Me, and Men Explain Things To Me.

This course will act as an introduction, focusing on the different forms of non-fiction, such as life writing, place writing, memoir, personal essays, lyric essays and travel writing.

You’ll be given plenty of short extracts to read from a wide variety of sources and a list of recommended texts to read outside the class.

You’ll have lots of opportunities to write, think and share your ideas in an open-minded and supportive environment, punctuated with group readings and collective analysis of important creative non-fiction texts.

 

The course will cover these key themes:

  • finding the inspiration and understanding your values as a writer
  • playing with ideas, how to find a story and searching for personal stories
  • genre expectations, novelistic techniques and narrative frame
  • writing about people and places – interviewing, overhearing and capturing place
  • character development, narrative voices, dialogue and points of view
  • structure and order through framing, flashbacks, and chronological disruption.
  • Nottingham Branch
