This course is designed to inspire and instruct students on how to write the literary longform non-fiction. Excellent non-fiction requires rigorous fact-based reporting to craft eloquent prose. In this class, students will learn to do both. They will build a spine of interviews, timelines, and sources, workshops, and craft story elements. The course focuses on going deep on a single subject and crafting one longform piece, with close reading of top non-fiction practitioners.
