Non-fiction writing takes many forms and each of these has its own generic conventions, limitations and potentials. Non-fiction writing relies heavily on reliable and accurate research and on a range of writing techniques, some of which are shared with fiction and some which are particular to this genre. This subject examines biography and travel writing with particular emphasis on developing an awareness of the possibilities of creative non-fiction writing and of exploring and expanding the different forms of creative non-fiction. The focus of the class is the students' own work. Several key non-fiction texts are examined and discussed, integrating practical work with critical reflection on the processes of non-fiction writing.
