More Will Be Revealed: Writing Through Substance Abuse, Addiction, and Recovery

August 8-29, 2026, Saturdays, 1:00-3:00 p.m. (four sessions)

$240

Together we will read & write creative writing on substance abuse, addiction & recovery, with an emphasis on harm reduction, healing, and reclamation. We will look at poems, short stories, and essay writing centering themes of addiction by their loved ones and by those with lived experience. This workshop will include one to two readings and discussions from published writers per session with generative writing prompts that can be adapted to serve any genre. We will have opportunities to share our work with one another and investigate our past selves, present journeys, and future healing and legacies. Potential authors to be read and discussed include Kaveh Akbar, James Baldwin & Jane Blunschi.
