THIS MONTH: Writing as an Act of Resistance
State violence is enacted in our country’s political, cultural and educational institutions now more than ever. What can we do as writers to disrupt the harmful political narratives of our time? In this workshop we will explore the intersection between the personal and the political, learning how we can write stories that preserve our histories, document the times we are livingin and re-imagine a better future. We will also focus on how we can undertake literary interventions to center voices that have been traditionally been marginalized.

CREATING UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTERS
Host: Sara Elliott
Info: What makes for unforgettable characters in fiction writing? What happens when we allow our
characters to be as complicated and messy as the people we encounter in everyday life? In this
generative writing workshop we’ll take a look at characters who make questionable choices,
struggle through relationships and wrestle with life’s big questions and events. We’ll explore a
range of literary techniques for creating backstory from memories and flashbacks to alternative
methods like dialogue, action and POV shifts. There will be plenty of generative exercises that
will allow us to go deeper into where our characters are coming from and where they are going
and allow it to inform the arcs of our works in progress.
