Welcome to Creative Nonfiction, a safe space to engage confidence, vulnerability, and truth. For four weeks, we’ll write with open attention, speaking up and speaking in, in attempt to achieve what Ntozake Shange calls “a voice that springs from real breath, a sweating body that speaks.” This outward and inward attunement is the foundation of our community of trust. The greater we embrace fearlessness, the greater the reward.
