Your Narrative Can Make Universal Connections and Cultural Impact
Narrative Nonfiction can do more than tell a personal story. You can craft a real impact, not only by making stronger connections with your readers but also by training their brains towards compassion and understanding. You can, by using a few basic craft elements, in combination with a specific narrative strategy, elicit reader empathy and influence cultural sensitivity.
Make a Connection, Make a Difference
Creative non-fiction is a true story told in the form of a narrative. The information found within is factual and informative, the style entertaining and descriptive.
Personal essays and memoirs, when done well, tie personal experience to universal themes.
Creative nonfiction can help readers understand and connect to different character experiences and perspectives, allowing them to 'fictionally' experience situations and feelings they may never have experienced themselves.
And when done very well, narrative nonfiction can intentionally and strategically trigger empathy and understanding in readers' brains, training them towards greater understanding and compassion.
Teacher Review
"I recently attended a Writer's Workshop presented by Lisa and was immensely pleased with my decision. Lisa’s individual critique of one of my pieces was invaluable to me, that day, and going forward in my writing. I am looking forward to attending future events."
Workshop Review
"I would not hesitate to attend any workshop or writing course conducted by Lisa and in fact, would attend this same program again if it were offered. I have recommended her workshop to numerous writing friends.”
Event Review
“I would highly recommend events coordinated and facilitated by Ms. Minney. She is down-to-earth, humorous, and a wealth of knowledge. If you have the opportunity to enroll, by all means, do so quickly before they fill up!”
