Workshop: Curating Life and Truth In-Person
Part of the 2024 To Taste Life Twice Seminar
Curating Life and Truth: How to Write a Compelling Story
What's the story you can tell better than anyone else? How do you execute with power on the page? As writers, we hone our craft through "curation", a concept encompassing the highly specific ways we each define our interests and concerns and hopes, as well as our standards of quality for everything from plots to characters to prose, dialog and images and insights. In this workshop, we’ll take a deep dive into how to curate your unique artistic sensibility, as a means to elevate your writing and storytelling into its most singular and potent form. All genres and levels of experience are welcome.
