SUMMARY:HippoCamp Minis: CRAFT - 5 CNF Writing Topics in a Flash
DESCRIPTION: Registration closes two hours before start time.   \nSome conferences call these fast-paced events lightning round talks. In honor of the short CNF subgenre\, we call them flash sessions! These have always been a popular and fun part of our in-person HippoCamp conference and\, this year\, we’re once again bringing their magic online. \nIn our Satuday HippoCamp Minis sessions\, you’ll hear from five speakers who will share bite-sized wisdom with practical takeaways on a topic they’re passionate about\, all related to writing creative nonfiction. \nNote: This is ONE OF FOUR events we’re hosting the weekend of Aug.10-11! Read about all of them here. \nThis webinar session will feature: \n\nYoung Adult (YA) Creative Nonfiction (Jiordan Castle)\nSession description: A short session focused on honoring (and raising!) the stakes\, characters\, and themes in YA nonfiction. Participants will learn new strategies for character- and world-building\, pitfalls to avoid\, and how to repurpose memories and life events with integrity. \nAbout the speaker: Jiordan Castle is the author of Disappearing Act\, a memoir in verse. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker\, The Rumpus\, The Millions\, Taco Bell Quarterly\, and elsewhere. She is a contributor to the LA-based food and culture magazine Compound Butter.
