Creative Nonfiction Week

Welcome to Creative Nonfiction Week 2008, an annual collaboration between the English, Fiction Writing and Journalism departments at Columbia College Chicago. Our goal is to bring you a range of voices, familiar and new, renowned and emerging, all helping to define and redefine the genre of creative nonfiction.

Creative nonfiction comes in many forms: memoir, narrative journalism, travel writing, personal essay, descriptive storytelling, and more. What they all have in common is a basis in reality, from careful observation to honest emotional truth.

This year, we are pleased to bring you a variety of writers, storytellers and journalists who are exploring creative nonfiction in many media through writing, sound, performance and image. We hope you find them as inspiring as we do.

All events are free and open to the public.  Creative Nonfiction Week is co-sponsored by the departments of English, Fiction Writing, and Journalism.
