CRAFTING THE TRUE STORY: An Exploration Of Creative Nonfiction - Tucson

Availability: Spaces Available



Bring real life to the page with techniques that can make words dance, sentences sparkle, and stories soar with acclaimed journalist and story coach Jacqui Banaszysnki at our MISA Tucson Campus.

Students will explore techniques that weave literary creativity into true stories. Whether you are a news journalist, book author, travel writer, or gathering your family's story, you will find the week both practical and inspirational.

Students will gain the tools that all good writers master to transform a notion or assignment into a viable story idea, and then shape that idea into a compelling piece. The week will include a mix of fieldwork and in-class exercises to practice various techniques. Jacqui will help students diagnose their unique writing patterns, and meet with them for optional one-on-one coaching to brainstorm approaches to their individual writing challenges and aspirations. 

"Writing is not magic. But done with equal measures of discipline and passion, it can be magical."- Jacqui Banaszynski
