Blending Genres

Virtual

Saturday Sept 27

Age Group: 18+

Level: All Levels

Description: In this workshop, we’ll dive into the history of genre-blending and how writers have pushed boundaries by mixing forms. Participants will receive a prompt and two random genres to mash together into a story synopsis. We’ll share our creations, workshop the ideas as a group, and offer feedback. We’ll wrap up with an open Q&A before closing.

About the facilitator: Rosemary has spent most of her life in Pittsburgh and has been writing for as long as she can remember. She began keeping a diary at age eight and still journals to this day. As a child, she also wrote short horror stories and collaborated with a friend on mystery comics. Now, she continues to write poems and short stories, while also finding joy in reading, crafting, volunteering, and navigating life with her disabilities.

Refund & Cancellation Policy: Attendees can cancel their registration 7 days or more before the event for a full refund (minus ticketing fees). If there is a need to cancel registration less than 7 days before the event, 50% of the ticket cost will be refunded (minus ticketing fees).

Write Pittsburgh reserves the right to cancel events due to unforeseen circumstances including low registration. If this happens, registrants will receive a 100% refund of the workshop cost (minus ticketing fees). Please note that Humanitix does not allow us to refund ticketing fees, so that is not something that we have any control over.
