Please note that this is an online workshop conducted via Zoom. Participants will be provided information on how to join the online sessions.

This workshop is for individuals who have taken a previous Personal Essay, Creative Nonfiction, Memoir, or related writing workshop with Inprint or elsewhere. 

This writing workshop is meant to help experienced writers develop a piece of creative nonfiction for publication. If you’re looking for a set of generous eyeballs to help you revise and tighten the nuts and bolts on a piece you’re ready for the world to see, this is the workshop for you. Responding intensely to one recently published piece of nonfiction, we will break down, and then build up, five essential parts of the storytelling process. Along the way, we will discuss practical considerations about publishing, including how to time your piece to what’s happening in the world and how to write pitches that will get editors’ attention.
