Each winter and spring, the literary nonfiction program at the University of Oregon invites notable writers in the genre to conduct intensive writing workshops on subjects of their choice. Called the "Writing about..." series, workshops have included: Writing about...children, about...poverty, about...relationships, about...the natural world, about...loss, about...the past, about...the moment, about...what you're afraid to write about. Below some of the writers who conducted workshops answer questions about their craft.
