Introduces the skills for writing creative non-fiction in a range of styles, including memoir, literary journalism, the personal essay and experimental non-fiction.
Purpose of the Course
This course will make you a better writer and storyteller. It will provide you with vital skills that are applicable across many career paths. WRIT3050 Writing Creative Non-Fiction teaches you how to turn your own experiences and research into compelling non-fiction writing.ﾠCreative non-fiction uses tools familiar from fiction and poetry – including narration, scene-setting, dialogue, imagery and figurative language – to tell vivid, real-life stories. You'll explore the main creative non-fiction sub-genres, including memoir, personal essay, biography, oral history, literary journalism, nature/eco-writing and experimental non-fiction (aka the lyric essay).ﾠ
You will read cutting-edge writing from a diverse and inclusive range of leading non-fiction authors, including Indigenous Australian and global voices, and learn about contemporary trends in creative non-fiction publishing. You will learn about specificﾠresearch techniques and narrative structures, and engage in critical reflection on the composition methods used by great creative non-fiction authors. You will get numerous opportunities to hone your craft through carefully planned creative writing exercises. ﾠYou will workshop your draft writing in class across the semester, ﾠincreasing ﾠthe word count asﾠ your confidence and skills grow. You will read your classmates' drafts, providing robust and constructive feedback and learning to think as an editor.
Whether you wishﾠ to craft narratives from your own memory and experience (memoir); ﾠreflect on a subject that's ﾠimportant to you (personal essay); ﾠsketch a profile of a fascinating person (biography); ﾠlook past the daily headlines to tell a deeper story ﾠ(literary journalism); ﾠshed light on the world around us (nature and eco-writing); or experiment with form and style (lyric essay), ﾠthis course will give you inspiration, ﾠpractical guidance and industry insight to get started. ﾠDedicated students should be able to produce work of a standard ready to be submitted for publication in Australian literary journals.
Course Goals
On completion of this ﾠcourse, you will be ﾠfamiliar with a wide range of research and writing techniques appropriate for creative writing ﾠprojects. You will be ﾠable to use research to produce a finished piece of creative non-fiction.
Teaching and Learning Modes
WRIT3050 is taught as a weekly 1-hour lecture andﾠ2-hour tutorial. It features lecture material; group activities and discussions;ﾠindividual creative exercises; and student responses to readings.ﾠ
Expectations and Obligations
- Attending lectures and tutorials is key to doing well in this course. Participating in the workshopping process - as author, and as reader/editor - is the primary, non-negotiable way that students improve as non-fiction writers. There is a high statistical correlation between attendance/participation rates, and overall scores in the course. In-class writing and workshop participation is part of the assessment for this course.
- If you miss lectures and tutorials, it is your responsibility to obtain notes from another student. If you have work or other commitments that clash with lectures and tutorials, you may want to consider deferring this course until next year. Lectures will be recorded through Echo360, but please note that lecture recordings sometimes fail and teaching staff are not obliged to repeat lectures.
- Please be aware that some of the teaching staff are casual academics, and are not able to respond immediately to email contact. A reasonable expectation would be a response within 3 ﾠworking days (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm) ﾠfrom all teaching staff in the course. Apart from wholly unexpected circumstances, it is always better to bring your questions to class; failing that, make sure toﾠ give teaching staff plenty of time to respond.
- If you are struggling with assessment or experiencing personal difficulties, please let the course convenor ﾠknow as soon as you possibly can. We do understand that sometimes feeling overwhelmed prevents students from contacting us in a timely fashion, but you have our assurances that you will be dealt with kindly and non-judgmentally. It is always better to let us know early.

Task description
This assessment is designed to foster a regular writing practice and improve workshopping skills. It runs as a 20-minute block in 10 tutorials, from Week 2 to Week 12.
It has has two parts:
1. In-class writing exercises
- Prompt-based writing, using pen and paper; no electronic devices.
2. In-class feedback sessions - 'speedback'
- 1-3 students are selected to read their draft work out
- 1-3 students provide quick, specific verbal feedback ('speedback') on each draft:
a) one thing that 'works'
b) one thing that 'sticks out'.
This is not a hurdle assessment; it is acceptable to miss one or more in-class writing exercises. However, if you are absent from an assessed writing session, a mark of 0 will be awarded automatically.
Conditions
As this is in internal UQ course, you must make yourself available to undertake these exercises at the scheduled date, time and venue. Please see Exam Procedures for full information.
These are handwritten, closed-book writing sessions. No written material, electronic material or electronic devices can be used. All such items should remain in your bag or under your desk. All electronic items must be switched off or in airplane mode.
You must turn up to your allocated tutorial, as per Allocate+.
This assessment task is to be completed in-person. The use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Translation (MT) tools will not be permitted. Any attempted use of AI or MT may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
Please note that there are NO opportunities to re-take individual writing exercises, and no alternative assessment available, except in very specific circumstances, outlined below.
Alternative Assessment - eligibility
If you have a Student Action Plan (SAPD) that applies specifically to participating verbally in tutorials, you will have the option to provide written feedback.
If you have an SAPD that applies specifically to handwriting and tutorial attendance, we can arrange a make-up session. It will take place in Week 13, so please ensure you're available.
If you have a genuine, documented reason you have been unable to attend the tutorials on three or more occasions, you may be eligible for the Week 13 make-up session. Reasons may include: sudden/serious illness that requires a lengthy absence; or another documented reason for a lengthy absence.
There is already flexibility built into this assessment to miss multiple tutorials, so the make-up session does not apply to students who miss tutorials due short-term illness, work commitments, etc.
Submission guidelines
Deferral or extension
You cannot defer or apply for an extension for this assessment.
Late submission
This is an in-class exercise, late submissions are not possible.
