title: Creative Nonfiction: Researching and Crafting Stories of Real Life
author:  Philip Gerard 
description: &#34;The flexibility of this text is what makes it so desirable for instructors. I've seen it used successfully in cross-listed courses, grad courses, intro and advanced undergrad courses. It simplifies, as much as possible, the process of writing creative nonfiction so students can experiment in complicating it.&#34; --Abby Murray, University of Washington

  This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, corporations, institutions,
  organizations, events, or locales in this novel are either the product of the
  author’s imagination or, if real, used fictitiously. The resemblance of any
  character to actual persons (living or dead) is entirely coincidental.
