Ready to Join a Workshop?
We’re calling on the brave and bold for a writing adventure! This semester we’ll be writing stories that have multiple choices for the reader - different storylines lead them down alternative paths or to alternative endings. We’ll take inspiration from a few examples like Jason Shiga’s "Meanwhile" and Ryan North’s "To be or not to be", then we’ll build worlds of our own. We’ll dig into key writing techniques and learn some new approaches while we forge our own way – whether it be fiction or nonfiction, the choice is yours. Which way will your adventure go?
What’s the one thing that separates your world from the next person? It’s simple: perspective. In this workshop, we’ll take a magnifying glass to the world around us, what we love and hate, and everything in between, to unpack what makes things so amazing, disastrous, or just plain “mid.” Amazing teaching artist and poet, Daemond Arrindell, will guide us as we write odes, epistolary poems, acrostics, vignettes, persona poems, recipe poems, and more!
Si no puedes esperar a pasar página, el escritor ha logrado contarte una gran historia. ¿Qué se necesita para desarrollar los personajes, los escenarios, los diálogos y los elementos de la trama que te hagan perder el control? ¡Este taller responde a esas preguntas y más! Cada semana desglosaremos las partes de la escritura de ficción y probaremos lo que hemos aprendido con la escritura sobre el terreno. También trabajarás con tus compañeros, dándoles consejos y comentarios, mientras escuchas lo que tienen que decir sobre tu trabajo.
Este taller no solo te convierte en un mejor escritor, sino que cuando entiendes el proceso, te hace apreciar aún más a tus escritores favoritos. No nos dejes sin palabras: ¡inscríbete ahora en este taller!
