A 5-Week Nonfiction Workshop
Thursdays: October 17 - November 14, 6-9 PM
Develop and explore your “illness and health timeline” in a guided five-week writing workshop that includes generative information and materials. Guest instructors include local physicians and practicing writers, Margaret Carroll, MD, and Kara Stuhr, MD. Encouraging participants to write their personal history will be emphasized—and there’s also the opportunity to explore the history of sickness and health among family members, peers, and even your town and region, among other possibilities. Participants and the instructor will establish writing goals, and all participants will be invited to share a portion of their emerging and evolving work with the group. The final meeting will consist of a public reading and presentation.
