This course enrolls from the waitlist and no one is officially enrolled until contacted by the instructor. This course counts toward the Creative Writing Concentration. PREREQ: L13 220 Creative Nonfiction Writing 1 and either L13 320 Creative Nonfiction Writing 2: Literary Journalism or L13 327 Creative Nonfiction Writing: Personal Essay/Memoir.
