Spots Left in Mixed Levels Personal Nonfiction Workshop

All the other spring courses are full, but there are still a few openings in Chris Daley’s class.  Here are the details:

Mixed Levels Creative Nonfiction: Personal Essay & Memoir (with Chris Daley in Los Feliz)
Tuesdays, 7:30 to 9:30 pm
April 19, 2011 to June 7, 2011

In this mixed-levels course, students will read, discuss, and write essays (or chapters) that will explore the genre(s) of personal narrative and memoir. The readings will be selected to stimulate thinking, exemplify different techniques and styles, and suggest techniques for engaging personal and creative expression. There will be in-class and homework exercises that address topics such as persona, audience, story, description, memory and truth, and ethical considerations specific to the genre. Students will have the chance to workshop their writing in a serious environment meant to challenge and inspire each member of the class.

This course will take place in the instructor’s home in Los Feliz, where wine and sparkling water—and the occasional delicious snack—will be served.

Enrollment limit: 8 students
Course fee: $380 for new students; $340 for returning students (Payment plans available!)
