ONE ESSAY
WORKSHOP IS FULL
In this five-week workshop you will each write ONE ESSAY as we consider the many, many ways to nonfiction, to wonder, to question, to claim authority, to research, to remember. You will arrive with a single topic, and I will provide prompts each week for you to shatter, repair, undo, plant, unearth, and then replant your topic until something (fingers crossed) unexpected grows.
This five-week workshop will meet on ZOOM on Mondays (September 9, 16, 23, 30, October 7) from 9:15AM-12:45PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME. All assignments, lectures, and handouts will be sent via email.
Weekly reading and writing assignments will guide you. All levels welcome. Workshop is limited to 10 participants.
