2024 Summer Workshops

Susanna Sonnenberg Who Was I/Who Am “I”? July 16 to July 21, 2017 Tuition: $600 Workshop: 9am-12pm Discipline: Nonfiction/Memoir OPEN TO ALL On-site Housing Available

The workshop guides writers into thinking about the self as a literary device. As we explore real-life anecdotes, we discuss how to transform them from lived experience into art, and how to choose the details that shape story. Generative prompts during class encourage spontaneity, risk and expression.
