"First Lede, Real Lead": New Essay Online - New Blog / Ask the Godfather - Bargain Back Issue of the Month - Mentoring Programs - The CNF Social Network - Feedback - Advertising |
NOW ONLINE: "BLOOD AND TREASURE"  The ongoing, online experiment that is CNF's latest issue, "First Lede, Real Lead," has more than met our expectations. The conversations sparked by Laurie Uttich's essay, "Crazy Talk," and Carrie Seymour's "Reclamation" have been nothing less than engrossing. As promised, we continue to post essays online in a manner that pits the submitted form vs. the edited form. New this week is Maria Hummel's "Blood and Treasure," so keep the conversation going and join the discussion today. Tell us: Did we ruin the essay? Did we make it better? Did we do anything at all? Share your thoughts with us and the rest of the CNF community. |
CREATIVE NONFICTION IGNORED, AGAIN
Once again, creative nonfiction is being ignored by the National Endowment for the Arts. Lucky for us, CNF editor Lee Gutkind is speaking out on the genre's behalf. To read what Lee has to say on this subject--as well as other creative nonfiction issues--visit his blog. Got a creative nonfiction question for the Godfather? Email it to askCNF[at]gmail.com, and Lee may post your question and his response on his blog. |
CREATIVE NONFICTION AND POETRY?
BARGAIN BACK ISSUE OF THE MONTH 
In honor of National Poetry Month, for the rest of April Creative Nonfiction will be offering Issue 26: The Poets and Writers Issue for half price. This issue features many writers whose work crosses the borders between literary genres, from poetry and fiction to creative nonfiction, and illustrates how the lines of division between writers may be disintegrating. The stories themselves also flirt with the idea of crossing boundaries - between life and death, between countries and cultures and languages, and between individuals. Featuring work by Hilary Masters, Ira Berkow, Toi Derricotte, Lauren Slater, and more. For more information or to buy a copy, click here.

CNF'S NO-RESIDENCY WRITING PROGRAM Flexible schedule. One-on-one interaction. Customized courses. Here at Creative Nonfiction, we understand that not everyone wants or needs a degree to become a better writer. We also understand that in economic times such as these, there aren't a lot of people with the funds to invest in a two or three year MFA program or even a summer conference. CNF's mentoring programs offer writers of all levels one-on-one access to accomplished mentors (who, by the way, aren't just great writers, but experienced teachers and editors, too). So this year, save the money you'd be spending on travel, lodging, and tuition and get the personalized attention you want and deserve. All of our courses are tailored to meet your specific needs, whether you're looking for help kick-starting a writing project or putting the final touches on a manuscript. Our mentors can help you set realistic goals, illuminate your skills, address your weaknesses, and help build your confidence as a writer. We can help with book proposals, as well. Work with the experts, and make an investment in your writing career now! For more information, click here. |
