Beyond the Writers' Workshop : New Ways to Write Creative Nonfiction
Beyond the Writers' Workshop New Ways to Write Creative Nonfiction
Author: Carol Bly
An innovative new approach to teaching and writing creative nonfiction from veteran teacher and critically acclaimed author Carol Bly. — Teachers and writers everywhere are facing the limits imposed by the prevailing models of teaching: community or MFA “workshops” or, at the high-school level, “peer review.” In Beyond ...  more » Carol Bly presents an alternative. She believes that

workshopping’s tendency to engage in wry scorn and pay exaggerated attention to technical details, causes apprentice writers, consciously or unconsciously, to modify their most passionate work.

She also includes exercises and examples in an extensive practical appendix.
