Description
Instructor
What are the beliefs, customs, and stories of your communities? How might you include them in your writing? This is a generative workshop in which we’ll explore the impact of stories we’ve read and heard in our lives and then proceed to create fiction inspired by our findings. Using writing prompts, discussions of craft and literary techniques, we’ll develop our work and a plan for how to sustain it as we move forward.
