(Afternoon Workshop; 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM)
Whether personal, family, or collective, weaving history into fiction often means engaging with difficult, unresolved, and/or otherwise troubled stories. This workshop is for fiction writers grappling with lived and inherited histories. Workshops will begin with a mini-talk and close reading of excerpts from a range of fiction curated towards workshopping manuscripts-in-progress. We’ll address research questions, ethical concerns, craft issues and possibilities, and whatever else has been troubling your writing process. Expect to walk away with fresh eyes, deepened ways of reading as a writer, and generative tools to mold, texture, sharpen, and catalyze drafts into the next phase.
Please submit up to 20pp (double-spaced, 12pt font) of a manuscript-in-progress you would like to workshop to ssiegel@fawc.org by May 31.
