Course Description:
Some of the best scripts in the world begin as real events. Creative nonfiction stories explore true-life situations using the same script techniques such as scene, dialogue and description employed by fiction. In this class you will become a scriptwriter using the truth as a beginning point.
Creative nonfiction heightens the whole concept of reality. And it allows a writer freedom to employ the diligence of a reporter, the shifting voices and viewpoints of a novelist, the refined wordplay of a poet. The end product will be finished scripts that can be used for television, film or stage.
