What you'll learn
The best stories, the ones that matter, aren't actually 'about' the author or the author's personal concerns.
The writer's task isn't merely to tell their story; it's to connect that story to the reader and the larger world.
This class digs into the practical ways in which writers can connect our individual creative work to the reader, the culture, the era, and the world about which, and for which, we write.
Thursdays 4 pm – 6 pm PST / 7 pm – 9 pm EST 8/7, 8/14, 8/21, 8/28 Enrollment: $300 if you register by June 1. $350 after that.
