In this workshop, participants will find their unique writing voice via personal experience. We will build writing that integrates and shares all ingredients of life—love, food, travels—creating successful essays and memoirs. Patrizia Chen will also be delighted to meet one-on-one with students to discuss their work.

Students should send samples of their writing (up to five pages double spaced) to workshops@fawc.org by July 8. Please also bring ten copies of these samples to the first class.
