We’ve added new online classes for the month of August! We’re excited to continue to create and introduce a virtual space throughout the year for creating art, sustaining connection, and practicing solidarity.
In addition to the ongoing 8-week workshops and 3-hour craft classes, we’re offering three new classes in August:
The Creative Nonfiction Toolkit with Hannah Bae
Nonfiction Workshop:
Mondays, 6:00 PM–8:30 PM ET
August 2nd–September 20th
Open to all writers of color
This class will offer a survey of creative nonfiction writings, breaking down elements of craft as well as the practical business of pitching, revising, and publishing nonfiction work. There will be assigned readings each week and workshop submissions from fellow students.
Found Forms for Fiction: The Litany and How To with Kristiana Kahakauwila
Fiction Craft Class:
Thursday, August 5th
6:00 PM–9:00 PM ET
Open to all writers of color
This course will open by studying several examples of the litany story—fictions that not only catalogue but also engage with gratitude and/or fear. Then we’ll look to the how-to, that old standard of practical advice and procedures.
Architectures of Resonance: Writing the Lyric Essay with Yanyi
Lyric Essay Craft Class
Sunday, August 22nd
1:00 PM–4:00 PM ET
Open to all writers of color
In this class, we will answer questions around how to plan and construct lyric essays. Participants will leave this workshop with a set of tools and prompts with which to consider their own burgeoning or ongoing lyric essays.
Classes are either open to Asian American writers or all writers of color; please check the class details before registering. All classes will take place on Zoom and the class times listed are in Eastern Time. There are scholarships available for each class.
Check out our full selection of upcoming and past online classes on our Online Classes Page. We’ll introduce new classes each month and add them to our class page throughout 2021, so check back to stay up to date.
We hope you’ll join us online!
