About This Class
Every family has stories we inherit, stories we remember differently, and stories we're afraid to tell. How do we transform those experiences into compelling fiction or nonfiction while honoring both the art and the people behind it? In this generative workshop, we'll explore the creative and ethical challenges of writing family. Through excerpts by Michelle Zauner and Michael Cunningham, we'll examine how writers shape memory, emotion, and imagination into powerful narratives. Whether you're writing memoir, personal essays, short stories, or novels, you'll leave with practical strategies for turning lived experience into work that is both honest and artful.
