Writing Workshop: Finding and Refining Your Voice in Nonfiction (Main)

Writing Workshop: Finding and Refining Your Voice in Nonfiction (Main) In-Person

This series of four workshops – which can be taken independently or sequentially – will help you nurture your unique perspective in nonfiction. We will cover how to refine your topic, research effectively, define your point of view, and build effective arguments and narratives. This will be suitable for writers of many types of nonfiction – essays, feature writing, creative nonfiction, biography, cultural criticism, memoir, and more.

The four workshops are as follows:

  • January 9, 2025: Finding The Topic Within The Topic
  • January 16, 2025: Fruitful (And Less Boring) Research 
  • January 23, 2025: Argumentative Makeover! Defining Your POV
  • January 30, 2025: Building An Argument That Sticks

Note: Because these workshops can be taken independently, patrons must register for each session they wish to attend.
