Nonfiction is now more abundant than ever—we read it in magazines, newspapers, books, on the Internet…. And nonfiction writing is wonderfully varied; memoir, biography, history—all this, and more, “counts” as nonfiction.

At this new workshop, we’ll explore how to make nonfiction happen on the page, including:
• how to find focus within subjects of interest
• how to research authentically, for surprising results
• how to interview successfully—for provocative quotes
• how to write well-structured, compelling, true prose.

Beginners and non-native speakers are welcome.

The workshop is taught by Lisa Friedman, who founded The Amsterdam Writing Workshops in 2003. She holds a degree in English and Philosophy from Columbia University. She has also studied writing at The New School, Poets & Writers, and New Dramatists.
