Braided Narratives with Logan Hoffman-Smith

Saturday, March 23rd
2:00–4:30 pm ET

As writers, time and memory are mediums through which we transcribe the experience of consciousness. How is our tactile experience of the present texturized by our past? And how do we weave these often disparate threads into something tangible? In this class, we will work to define and create braided narratives. We'll draw upon examples by writers such as Sofia Samatar and Sabrina Imbler as we perform craft analysis and work on in-class writing exercises. We'll leave with a solid understanding of braiding and associative logic, as well as the beginning of a new work in progress!
