Give yourself the gift of creativity this holiday season. Creative NonFiction, a magazine featuring true, well-told stories, is holding a webinar on Dec. 29 for writers who want to widen the appeal of local reporting to a national audience.
“The best reportage connects an intimate, local story to a larger issue or trend. A story about one person’s battle with homelessness, for example, can reveal a lot about weaknesses in national infrastructure, cultural indifference to suffering, and the life-saving importance of certain charities,” according to the Creative NonFiction website. Participants will learn how to use a tool called Cosmic Zoom “to find critical distance and unearth new possibilities and points-of-view.”
When/Where: 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET (virtual)
Cost: $15
Presenter: Adriana E. Ramirez, a Mexican-Colombian writer, critic, and performance poet based in Pittsburgh. She won the inaugural PEN/Fusion Emerging Writers Prize in 2015 for her novella-length work of nonfiction, Dead Boys.
