Overview
Work with our talented group of mentors to explore all facets of factual writing!
Nonfiction matters! Publishers crave it. Teachers and librarians need it. Nonfiction connects our children to the world. Stories about real people, real places, and really interesting world events are more important now than ever. Our master class explores nonfiction from many angles: the editorial, the business, and, most importantly, the art of telling true stories.
