New December Workshop

Are We in the Real World Here?

(A Non-Fiction / Fiction Workshop)

The question I’m often asked about my writing is: “are we in the real world here?” I love this question because it asks me to pull the letters I am writing apart and look for dust and bones, a lost glove, my mother. It asks me to consider how the imagination hatches the real, and how the real can often slip into the imaginary. This workshop will consider the lines drawn between fact and fiction, and what happens when those lines blur.

In this five-week workshop you will be given weekly prompts and reading assignments to guide you through a deep exploration of how the story and the essay, fiction and nonfiction, the imagination and the real, can fuse into a great coherence.

This five-week workshop will meet on ZOOM on MONDAYS (December 1, 8, 15, 22, 29) / 9:15AM-12:45PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME. All assignments, lectures, and handouts will be sent via email.
