This is a course strictly for students ready to invest a year or more into a professional writing career, specialized in the authoring of creative non-fiction, such as grants, textbooks, promotion and advertising, and the like. 

You've studied writing and know how to write well (especially if you've completed STEPS Creative Writing 1-5 ). Now, you've decided to write projects requiring research, and an understanding of "reality"...nonfiction work. But you wish to do it on a high and creative level. This is the course for you!

Textbooks, biographies, speeches, self-help books...they can be as dry as dust, boring and impossible. Or they can spark the readers interest, and lead him into a new world of ideas. This course is for the serious author that is ready to introduce readers to grand and great ideas and worlds, in a manner that will excite and delight them, and help YOU, the author, to a successful and exciting career!

Many nonfiction areas a writer could work in is defined and worked with. The list of these is quite long and includes obvious entries like histories, biographies, and textbooks. But it also includes interesting niches such as the authoring of grant proposals and speeches. 

A highly structured but very creative approach is taken throughout, as the student moves from one type of creative nonfiction to the next, and their understanding of this remarkable field...the bulk of modern published works...improves and deepens daily.

For the SERIOUS student, ready to learn to author their first major nonfiction works!  From an author who has successfully authored textbooks, grant proposals, hundreds of educational courses, and other nonfiction works.
