This class is perfect for those who are already confident in their base-level writing skills and would like an opportunity to work on specific goals or projects.
In a supportive and encouraging environment, you will take your writing to new heights with evocative and challenging prompts meant to deepen your craft holistically, from the power of observation to putting pen to paper. Work towards a final project using a specific instance or memory from school days and work through it using language, literary devices, and experimentation. At the end of the class, you will share your projects and receive feedback in a group reading followed by discussion.
Topics explored: Advanced Creative Non-Fiction, Editorializing, and Scene Crafting
This workshop is great for solo writers or a wonderful way to connect with partners and friends!
