How do you tell a true story? How do you bring a person or a place to life on the page? How creative can you really be in creative non-fiction? What is a non-fiction novel? And how much should you worry about facts getting in the way of the tale you want to tell? Travis Elborough and Dr Adelle Stripe are two acclaimed, and widely-published authors whose work extends across the fields of history, travel, memoir, biography and fiction, who understand every aspect of non-fiction from vague hunch to final publication, and all the challenges in between.
With a focus on voice, structure, editing and research, they will show you how to take your non-fiction from the ideas stage to the page. Whether it’s memoir, biography, reportage, travel or nature writing, this course will clarify your purpose as a writer. If you are looking for inspiration or already have a work in progress, you’ll be provided with the tools to move your writing up to the next level and to put yourself on the path to print.
