Workshop
Genre Bending: Getting the Most from Your Work in Words
This workshop will look at ways a writer might take full advantage of different genres and forms to get the most out of our very best notions. Participants will be encouraged to work outside their comfortable writerly ranges, to create new work by self-tasking and outside direction.
