Obsessions, Accidents, & Questionable Decisions (An Essay Workshop)
Do you have something you care way too much about? Or an unforgettable story you love telling people? Maybe it’s how you got that scar on your shoulder, or a weird adventure that began when you got lost at a concert, or how you first fell in love with anime. This workshop is about turning those moments into personal essays that readers can’t put down.
Zine Machine (Spring Break Workshop)
Welcome to Zine Machine! We’re a self-publishing group of rebels spreading the word on things we think you should know. Obscure cat breeds? Survival tips for a zombie apocalypse? Favorite board games? All must-read zines.
