The current fraught socio-political climate is motivating nonfiction writers to engage with social issues on the page. The personal has become political, and the political has become personal. In truth, the writer has long played a role as a witness, conscience, and predictor of social change. How do we write compellingly yet responsibly about social issues? How do we write about the world as we’d like it to be without coming across as Pollyanna or propaganda? We will investigate these questions through readings, discussion, and writing exercises.

This class is a 1-day (3 hours long) craft class on Sunday, October 22nd from 2:00 PM–5:00 PM ET. This craft class is open to all writers of color.
