Event Details

Writing the Personal: Telling Our Own Stories

Stories are everywhere.

How different is our own story to that of others?

Our challenge is to identify our own story and to tell it with confidence. How much to explain to readers and how much to leave to their imagination? Telling our own story can challenge dominant narratives about who we are. In this six-week introductory writing workshop, you will develop the power to tell your own story, whether in prose or poetry, through a variety of writing exercises and examples.
