Creative Nonfiction

Call for pitches: send us your ideas for essays addressing / highlighting / grappling with the evolution of the genre! Deadline March 15.

Reminder! Our self-guided course, Finding Your Voice(s) starts on Monday 2/22! Working at your own pace, you'll consider what makes one voice different from another, focusing on the patterns of sentences, specific and telling word choice, and what each voice is comfortable revealing. More broadly, we’ll think about how these tonal shifts affect the way we express ideas, make arguments, and expose larger truths. Registration remains open through March 12. You'll be able to share works-in-process with other students in the course, and at the end, you'll get a zip file with all of the course content and the work you generated.

Last call! We're looking for new nonfiction by older (60+) writers! We’re looking for personal essays/memoir, experimental work, science writing, profiles, historical nonfiction, lyric essays any kind of lively fact-based writing. Your work might directly address issues related to age/aging, but there is absolutely no requirement that it do so. Deadline Monday 2/22; 4,000 words max; convenience fee (waived for current subscribers). https://www.creativenonfiction.org//new-nonfiction-older-w
