About this Event
We're overjoyed to offer this fantastic generative writing workshop with novelist Emily Nemens!
About the workshop:
Friendships can be some of the most important relationships in our lives—though IRL and in literature, they often play third fiddle to romantic entanglements and familial obligations. In this generative workshop, we’ll look at examples of fiction and poetry that foreground friendship and work through generative prompts to imagine how platonic relationships can inspire and expand our creative work.
