Telling the Truth Through Fiction: Virtual Presentation

Arts and Culture, Literature, Lectures, and Talks, Online Event

March 11 | 10:00 am - 12:00 pm  

Join award-winning memoirist and popular teacher Jennifer Browdy, PhD, for an online workshop exploring how sometimes telling the truth is easier in fiction than in memoir. The workshop will include instruction and writing exercises/prompts. As Jennifer wrote in a recent essay, when we “shift purposefully from memoir to fiction, we not only do no harm to the still-living people who inhabit our memories, but we also ignite the process of transforming the coal of true but painful stories into diamonds that can shine a bright light for ourselves, and for others.” If you have some tender true stories in mind that you’re not sure how to tell, this workshop is for you!
