Diasporic Storytelling with Jordan Alam

In this 8-week workshop, we will explore intergenerational storytelling. Knowing that these stories are often incomplete, students are encouraged to bring in their found objects and written scraps. Immigration narratives, passed down tales, and stories of inherited conflict are the perfect material. Each week, we will generate new writing and give revision feedback with gentleness and curiosity. Participants can expect to workshop a piece 1-2 times throughout the course. There will be in-class reading and suggested readings for outside of class, as well as reading for workshop. This course is geared towards fiction and non-fiction writers.

This 8-week course will meet on Mondays at 5:30 PM–8:00 PM ET from February 21st–April 11th. This workshop is open to all writers of color with a scholarship spot available. This class is now full but you can join the waitlist here. See the class page for more information!
