Every great writer has a subject or field that they constantly return to, and these points of obsession make the writing come alive for the fortunate reader.

The Etc.: Writing Across Obsession and Other Fields with Muriel Leung will meet over Zoom on Tuesday evenings from June 8th–July 27th at 8:00 PM–10:30 PM ET. In this 8-week multi-genre workshop, writers will be encouraged to draw from their areas of knowledge or expertise—law, medical science, psychology, critical race studies, trans studies, music, visual art—to create original essays, poems, or work in other hybrid forms. This workshop is ideal for writers of all levels who possess a deep interest in another subject outside of creative writing and who want to learn how to organically weave their areas of knowledge into their writing. Writers will experiment with different formal techniques such as braiding, erasure, and repetition to forge a more intimate connection between their subjects and their writing.

This workshop is open to all writers of color. This class is now full! There is one scholarship spot available, and the deadline to apply for the scholarship is Tuesday, May 18th. See the class page for more information.
