Explore Vulnerability in Your Writing

Discover how to share personal details that feel right to you and engage your readers. When writing memoir or personal essays, the questions of how much to share and when are crucial. This workshop will help you navigate these decisions.

What You'll Learn

• Craft Techniques: Understand self-disclosure as a critical aspect of writing, akin to character and plot.
• Confidence: Share personal information in ways that resonate with you and your readers.
• Community Support: Connect with fellow writers in a supportive environment.

Workshop Highlights

• Examine Example Texts: Learn how successful authors use self-disclosure to enhance their work.
• Redefine “Confessional” Writing: Challenge and redefine the term through the lenses of misogyny, racism, and ableism.
• Overcome Fears: Address fears of being perceived, judged, or hurting others, and learn strategies to get your truths onto the page.
