About this Event
For writers, obsessions—personal, aesthetic, emotional, intellectual—are not meant to be tamed, managed, or medicated (at least not when they aren’t dangerous or debilitating). Instead, they should be welcomed, pursued relentlessly, and mined in our work.
Participants can expect to fill their notebooks with ideas to find (or deepen) their most essential writing.
This interactive event is for writers and writing nerds of all levels of experience.
About the Speakers:
Matthew Clark Davison is the author of Doubting Thomas and founder of The Lab, a generative writing workshop. He is emeritus faculty in Creative Writing at San Francisco State University, and lives in Oakland, California with his husband.
