The Creative Nonfiction Toolkit with Hannah Bae

“Creative nonfiction” can be a very wide umbrella term that spans multiple forms of writing: personal essay, memoir, cultural criticism, journalism, hybrid forms, and more. This class, fit for BIPOC writers of all levels and backgrounds, will offer a survey of these types of writing, breaking down elements of craft, research and experimentation, as well as the practical business of publishing nonfiction work.

Hannah Bae is a freelance journalist and nonfiction writer who is at work on a memoir about family estrangement and mental illness. She is the 2020 nonfiction winner of the Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers’ Award. She was a 2021 Peter Taylor Fellow for The Kenyon Review Writers Workshops and a 2019 Open City fellow in narrative nonfiction at Asian American Writers’ Workshop. She has been hired to teach creative writing for Indiana University’s Writers Conference, Kundiman, Kweli International Literary Festival and The Resort LIC.
