BOLD AND UNAFRAID: FICTION FOR THE NOW
Ever felt like your lived experience—and how you express it on the page—doesn’t fit the mold of a traditional writing workshop? Are you ready to support and empower others who feel the same? This workshop is designed for writers who want to embrace political and social justice-driven stories without hesitation.
In this three-hour session, we will read excerpts from authors belonging to underrepresented communities in this country. Together, we’ll discuss how they challenge and confront power and systems of oppression through their craft.
Participants will then have multiple opportunities to engage in generative short-fiction writing inspired by current events and urgent social realities. You’ll be invited to share your work if you choose, receiving supportive, non-critical feedback and encouragement within an anti-racist framework.
This class is for those pursuing urgent writing—writing that answers the question: “Why now?” We live in unprecedented times, and writers are needed now more than ever. Your stories are needed.
