We all have stories to tell. Our lives are a treasure trove of amazing stories, filled with hilarity. Losses and griefs. Hair-tingling concerts. Books we’ve read. Quirky people we’ve known. Weird cousins. Pets. Our stories are what make each of us unique and amazing!
In this three-hour creative nonfiction workshop, Philadelphia Stories’ Jenny Burkholder and Christopher Drajem will help you to uncover those stories and begin mining them for significance. We will provide prompts to generate ideas, share and discuss examples of published essays, and offer tools to develop your story into a creative nonfiction essay.
