The Writers House is a beautiful space full of nooks and crannies, desks, and comfy chairs... and fellow writers, of course! Bring a project you're working on and write in community in our historic space this summer. Free, with registration encouraged.
🤣 WRITING HUMOR IN CREATIVE NONFICTION with Kat Echevarría Richter: In this generative workshop, we’ll discuss the role of humor in personal essays and memoir, and how to write serious work that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
🗂️ MINING THE PERSONAL ARCHIVES with Leah Pellegrini: In order to write memoir, we’re often tasked with revisiting the past. What to do, then, when memory is spotty? This workshop will offer specific techniques for recovering the details of our prior lives.
It’s 90° in Camden and we’ve got summer on the brain: announcing our lineup of Summer Cooper Street Workshops! We have lunchtime and evening options, all virtual, so you can tune in wherever the summer takes you. $20 general; $5 for Camden residents & RUC students. See you there!
💼 WRITING WORK with Bronwen Everill: Readers love to read about work! In this workshop, we’ll talk about how to translate your own job into prose, how to write about jobs you’ve never had, and look at great examples of work on the page.
