About this badge

It was a dark and stormy night…or was it? Whether in a memoir, a novel, or creative nonfiction, small details and authentic descriptions make writing come alive. In this class, learn how to dig up real details that make for more compelling prose. Become familiar with research techniques used by investigative reporters to help your writing move beyond personal recollections and invented descriptions. In class, revise a piece of writing, using your research to add depth and texture to the descriptive details. Students should come with a project in mind, whether fiction, nonfiction, or memoir, already started.
