Toolkits: Non-Fiction 2025
Ends on
What constitutes nonfiction? How is memoir different to autobiography? What makes non-fiction different from other forms of art and writing? How do we write, research, and investigate stories that matter? What does the truth mean when writing nonfiction?
Express Media is proud to present the 2025 return of Toolkits: Non-Fiction - an online course in the forms, skills, and ethics of writing non-fiction. This program will combine theoretical approaches, practical exercises and group workshopping to guide young writers to experiment and develop their work.
Toolkits is first and foremost a practical initiative. Young writers will be encouraged to write, workshop and edit their writing throughout the course. They will hone their skills in textual analysis, create their own original work (which can be experimental, autobiographical, biographical or journalistic), explore the possibilities of collaborative work, and learn how to pitch work to publishers when they’re done.
If you are a young writer or artist interested in non-fiction, we want to hear from you!
Toolkits: Non-fiction will take place on Wednesday evenings 6-8pm between April 23 and July 9. The total expected time commitment of this program is 20 hours.
