Hi! My name is Amanda and I am a Journalism major here at LaGuardia. I've always loved magazines, i have back issues of my favorites tucked into every nook and cranny of my room. The first magazine i ever read was Rolling stone - I think Green day was on the front cover. I'm a huge tumblr nerd - its my main social networking of choice followed by twitter. So I either want to work at a magazine or for something like tumblr. I took the Creative Fiction workshop this past summer, which I really enjoyed.
i think creative non- fiction is being able to take a real subject and being able to create an immersive experience for the reader. Where a news story is just giving the reader the facts, creative non- fiction is letting the reader experience the situation first hand.
