How can non-fiction writers use experimental techniques to vivify their work while staying tethered to truth? Anwen Crawford, the author of the ground-breaking non-fiction work No Document and one of the country’s most respected cultural critics, leads a workshop on bringing uncertainty and playfulness to non-fiction storytelling. She shares insights into producing hybrid and creative non-fiction that blurs the borders of genre and brings fresh and unexpected perspective to a writer's material.
