In partnership with Consequence Forum, I am offering a three-week, virtual generative writing workshop:

Writing can be a powerful tool for processing the past, especially when it’s painful. The mind has tricks for coping with difficult events, hazing the details or even obliterating them. Maybe the trauma happened to you as a child, or before you were born. In this workshop, we will use personal documents as prompts to explore writing about the past. Each meeting in this generative three-week workshop will incorporate a different artifact: a photo, an official document, and a letter. The documents will be used as prompts for free writing exercises. After a short craft discussion, there will be side-by-side writing that expands upon the free writing exercises, followed by group sharing, and supportive feedback.

This workshop is for anyone interested in writing about complicated life events in memoir, creative nonfiction, personal essays, autofiction, or even just to explore the past. All writing levels are welcome.Where & When: Online: Wednesdays, Sept. 10, 17, and 24 from 8 – 9:30p ET

Class Limit: 8

Cost: $80
