Sunday, June 28
1:00pm - 3:00pm
Noblesville
Meeting Room- BA workshop for anyone interested in writing stories about their life, but wants to learn more about where to start and how to pick the small moments that matter. In partnership with Butler University.
This Creative Nonfiction (CNF) introduction workshop, led by Susan Lerner, is perfect for anyone interested in writing stories about their life, but wants to learn more about where to start and how to pick the small moments that matter. Adult writers will generate new, short-form work (250-500 word pieces!) over the course of this two-hour guided writing workshop, a part of the Butler MFA Community Workshop series. We will look at examples of micro-essays and other short CNF from outlets like River Teeth's Beautiful Things archive, and then use prompts to write our own work. This is a supportive space for adult writers and storytellers of all levels. Participants will have the opportunity to share their work and will leave with resources to build their writing practices beyond this workshop.
About the Butler MFA Community Workshop Series
The Butler MFA Community Workshop series is a free writing program facilitated by Butler University alumni of the MFA in Creative Writing. These one-off workshops, hosted at partner sites including bookstores, nonprofits, and public libraries in the Greater Indianapolis area, connect adults at all stages of their writing journeys with workshop experiences shaped by graduate-level study. Thanks to a generous gift from the Efroymson Family Fund, alumni from the program's concentrations in Poetry, Creative Nonfiction, and Fiction will guide local writers into creative practice. Each workshop is designed to help participants generate new work, learn new ways of thinking about the craft of writing, and more confidently continue their own writing practices.
