2023 Summer Workshops

Sarah Schulman Witness, Express & Represent: A Prose Workshop July 14 to July 19, 2019 Tuition: $650 Workshop: 9am-12pm Discipline: Fiction OPEN TO ALL On-site Housing NOT Available - Off-site Housing Options

This workshop is part of our Social Justice Week.

This is 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.

NOTE: Sarah has requested that students who have taken her workshop within the past five years (2014-2018) refrain from registering so that new students may have the opportunity to work with her. Thank you.
