The myth of the solo genius toiling away in a darkened room has done more damage to writers’ potential than nearly any other. A book takes a village to create, and crafting a narrative and a career should be a community effort as much as possible. Join us in this collaborative workshop designed for writers looking for methods and strategies to grow their writing process as well as engage their community, online and in person. Introverts welcome!
From open mic nights to slush pile volunteers, there are many methods to extend your reach, find your peer group, advance your writing career, and deepen your practice through collaboration and community-building. Create your own zine, attend an online writing conference, or volunteer with a small press! We’ll speak about the ways you can play to your strengths and stay in your comfort zone while growing your reach and opening new opportunities in your writing career.
Requirements for this class are a laptop or tablet and the willingness to read a (short) passage in front of a group. Writers at any level of writing experience are welcome.
This event is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. This project is generously funded by the Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, and Mid-America Arts Alliance.
