What makes nonfiction “creative”? When you subvert expectations, break rules, and experiment with narrative. Using in-class writing prompts, we’ll explore voice, structure, point of view, genre, humor, and other entertaining strategies that can spice up any writing for maximum impact. Prior to the retreat, participants will be asked to write and bring a short book or movie review (500 words); instructions to follow.
