Each day is dedicated to a specific craft technique, pairing exemplary CNF essays with “craft essays” meant to illuminate, for instance, nonfiction structure or point-of-view or voice. Additionally, we focus on two modes of CNF: the personal essay and the public essay. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
