Susanna Sonnenberg Against Silence June 18 to June 24, 2023 Tuition: $800.00 Workshop: 9am - 12pm Discipline: Nonfiction/Memoir OPEN TO ALL On-site Housing NOT Available - Off-site Housing Options

“Against Silence” will teach you to break down your inhibitions and barriers to telling, as we examine and experiment with the great powers in voice, language, narrative tension, and scene setting. We will work from generative prompts, discussion, and short readings. You will be expected to respect everyone in the room, to work rigorously, and to complete daily assignments. You will also have a private conference with me to discuss your writing.

Please submit a sample of your memoir work (up to 800 words) to susanna.sonnenberg@gmail.com two weeks prior to class – May 29.
