An Aftermath of Your Choosing
with Arhm Choi Wild
Poetry Workshop:
Thursdays, 6:30 PM–9:30 PM ET
October 7th–December 2nd
Open to Asian American writers
To be on the margins of gender, race, and/or sexuality can often feel like there is no roadmap to follow. In this 8-week course, we will look at poems that both name our inheritances and articulate a different way forward of one’s choosing.

Women, Memoir, and Nonfiction
with Jen Lue
Nonfiction Workshop
Saturdays, 1:00 PM–3:30 PM ET
October 16th–December 18th
Open to Asian American writers
Memoir and biography have long been the domain of politicians, philosophers, and “great men.” This 8-week workshop will provide a background on memoir and creative nonfiction while also investigating how women authors have been queering the genre since its inception.
Writing at the Intersection with Meredith Talusan
Nonfiction Craft Class
Tuesday, October 5th
6:00 PM–9:00 PM ET
Open to all writers of color
Regardless of genre, writing at the intersection of multiple identities creates specific challenges. We'll take a look at some of the strategies intersectional writers have employed to express their ideas and aesthetics, as well as give ourselves time to work through some of these methods.
Two Truths and a Lie: Writing Memoir & Autobiographical Fiction with Bushra Rehman
Nonfiction Workshop
Mondays, October 18th–December 6th
6:00 PM–8:30 PM ET
Open to Asian American writers
Writing from life can be a tricky business. In this 8-week generative workshop, we will write by drawing on memory and its gaps, as well as the truth and lies of our lives.
