The Story You Have to Tell: Writing from the Urgent Place

Jun 30 - Jul 05 Begins in 1 month
with Cheryl Strayed & Pam Houston

The desire to write rises from the urge to say something. In this workshop, we’ll go where the heat is and trust that impulse, locating and exploring the stories you most urgently have to tell. Your story may be fictional or factual, autobiographical or fantastical. It may be tragic, hilarious, bizarre, contemplative, or all of the above. It may be an essay, a short story, a prose poem, a letter, a manifesto, a series of vignettes, or a section of a longer work.
