All Genre Workshop
Expectations:
This workshop is for any and all levels— first workshop or the millionth, I’m honored to have you. Can’t wait to see your face over Zoom!
Each week two people will workshop. Depending on the size of the class, each person should be able to workshop twice. Ideally, if someone is ready to be workshopped, they will submit a piece the week before class begins (if you want to get it out of the way, let me know!).
My only expectations are that you do the reading and that you turn in your submissions on time. My ultimate hope is that you walk away energized with a two pieces of writing that have received good, thorough feedback.
This is a time to take risks. This is the time to try something you’ve never done before. This is the time to take your ideas and turn them into art. This is the time to take time aside to hone your craft and cultivate your voice.
