We’re calling on the brave and bold for a writing adventure! This semester we’ll be writing stories that have multiple choices for the reader - different storylines lead them down alternative paths or to alternative endings. We’ll take inspiration from a few examples like Jason Shiga’s "Meanwhile" and Ryan North’s "To be or not to be", then we’ll build worlds of our own. We’ll dig into key writing techniques and learn some new approaches while we forge our own way – whether it be fiction or nonfiction, the choice is yours. Which way will your adventure go?

It's time for you to be the master of your universe! Let's explore worlds of your own creation, inhabited by beings that only you can imagine. We'll work together—whether you prefer fantasy, science fiction, magical realism or dystopia—to bring your ideas to life. We'll map out stories rich in symbolism, unleash our hidden storytelling skills, and be each other's sounding boards along the way. If you've ever dreamed of another world, this is the workshop where you can make it happen!

What’s the one thing that separates your world from the next person? It’s simple: perspective. In this workshop, we’ll take a magnifying glass to the world around us, what we love and hate, and everything in between, to unpack what makes things so amazing, disastrous, or just plain “mid.” Amazing teaching artist and poet, Daemond Arrindell, will guide us as we write odes, epistolary poems, acrostics, vignettes, persona poems, recipe poems, and more!
