You’ve heard of writing workshops. You’ve thought about queer issues (or characters). But… have you done both? At once? If that sounds like a fabulous combination to you, join us for a queer writing workshop! We will read work by queer and trans creators; engage with pertinent themes like gender, family, and intersectional identities; and ask what it means to be a queer writer in the 21st century. Students will produce a final piece to workshop in class, in a genre of their choice — perhaps a memoir, short story, or screenplay! If you’re excited to think deeply about queer identity and experience, willing to get into personal and sometimes difficult conversations, ready to give and receive kind and constructive writing tips, and hoping to become a more skilled writer and a more confident voice for your generation of LGBTQ folks, this is the class for you! *All identities welcome & no formal writing experience required.
