This six-week introductory seminar will explore nonfiction writing as a mode of public discourse. Who, exactly, are we addressing, and how can we craft prose that is intellectually rigorous, stylistically compelling and, above all, accessible? Writing for online venues demands careful and empathetic attention to our audience(s). ![]()
