Write Out of Your Genre: Experimenting with New Forms (2 sessions)

This interactive, hands-on, two-session workshop will give students a chance to try out a new, unfamiliar genre for fun–no pressure! For example, fiction writers might take a chance on writing poetry. Poets might dabble in romance writing or creative non-fiction. Memoirists could try their hand at short stories. The idea behind the course is that by trying out a genre that's not your own, you'll discover writing strategies and new ways of looking at language that will shake up your style and inspire you to go back to your primary genre with new ideas and energy.
