Intensive Writing Retreat in Creative Nonfiction
led by Brenda Miller
workshop description
Award-winning essayist and author Brenda Miller is back to renew your creative nonfiction writing practice during an intensive week-long virtual writing retreat. On the first weekend, Brenda will provide guidance for generative writing and you will write together, creating lots of new work, training the writing muscle. During the week, you will form a daily writing practice with a small cohort from the group, guided by daily missives from Brenda. At the final session on Saturday, you will gather together to share work, get ideas for revision, and create a concrete plan for how to keep the writing going.
Saturday, October 16th, Sunday October 17th and Saturday October 23rd: You will have a 2.5 hour class with Brenda and the whole group (start time to be determined* but will most likely be 9:00 am Pacific daylight time)
