In this creative writing workshop we will be focusing on overcoming obstacles in our writing practices through a problem-based approach. We will tackle central issues in your writing — questions that may arise include engagements with ethics, narrative, positionality, and representation — and we will explore how to find your way through these issues in a way that makes for engaging, dynamic writing.
This workshop is open to writers working in any genre. A total of 12 in-person workshop spaces are available.
