Writing Into Uncertainty: A 4 Week Workshop
When: Tuesdays in August from 7-9PM EST (August 5, 12, 19, and 26)
Where: On Zoom! Join us from anywhere.
Who: We’ll cap the class at 8 people to foster a close-knit environment.
In this four-session creative nonfiction seminar for writers with all levels of experience, we will write into questions, contradictions, and uncertainties. We will consider questions of love, family, loss, career, passion, and art — how to balance these forces and how we most want to move through the current and future stages of our lives. Students will be guided through readings by Melissa Febos, Kristen Dombek, Chelsea Hodson, Brenda Miller, and others with accompanying prompts and practices to generate new essays each week.
This class is based on the premise that all essays seek to understand — creative essays can serve as a tool to help us ask critical questions, make sense of contradictions, and find beauty in the unknown. Each class will include a reading, a discussion of the reading, and a writing prompt. Students will leave the class with newly generated work and tools to continue to refine their writing.
Recap: This is a 4 session seminar. We meet on Zoom, Tuesdays, 7:00-9:00 EST, starting August 5. The class will be capped at 8 people. The cost of the course is $300.
