Sarah Schulman Fiction & Nonfiction Workshop (24PearlStreet Live) Multi-Genre July 13 to July 17, 2020 Tuition: $500 Class Size: 12 Session: summer Level: 1 week asynchronous workshop

A craft-based workshop for fiction and non-fiction writers on ALL levels: from true beginner to the multiply published, working on witnessing our extraordinary time, expressing the experience of living now in the context of others, and representing these experiences through the eyes of people who are often ignored or distorted in mainstream media. All are truly welcome, but especially people looking to write prose that transcends racial and cultural clichés, that looks complexly at queer and trans experiences with nuance, and that addresses the current and ongoing expressions of people with HIV, and children and survivors of the epidemic.

LIVE ELEMENTS: **This course will be held on Zoom. Class will be held from 12-2 PM EST Monday – Friday.**
