Writing Instructor Carol Bergman Publishes Part One of Trilogy on Colonial America

 

NYU SPS writing instructor Carol Bergman recently published a short story–part one of her upcoming trilogy on colonial America–in The Copperfield Review. The work of historical fiction, titled “Shunned,” takes readers to Plymouth colony and tells the story of an orphan while exploring the tensions between love and religion, progress and punishment, and colonization and theft. 

 

Previously a journalist in the U.S. and U.K., Bergman’s work has been featured in numerous publications including The New York Times, The Times London, The Daily News Magazine, Newsday, Woman’s World, Cosmopolitan and Salon.

 

At CALA, she teaches narrative nonfiction writing — her classes are open to writers of all levels. This Spring, Bergman will be instructing “Creative Nonfiction Writing,” for those looking to explore the genre with short essays, memoirs, and profiles.
