Join Michelle LaFrance and Jessica McCaughey for their new course: Writing for Change: Stories, Letters, and One-Pagers for the Hopeful!

This workshop will focus on writing as a “world-building” tool for social change, hope, and community-building. Facilitators will discuss the rhetorical strategies for writing persuasively and strategically in “public” forms such as letters, OpEds, one pagers/brochures, and journalistic stories that seek to make a persuasive case for change.

Participants will produce, share, and revise drafts in the genre of their choice, and leave with a working draft that they can continue to revise. The workshop will end with a discussion of writing for self care, resilience, creative play, and community.

Please bring your first draft (or no draft!), a journal/notebook/pen or lap top, and your most creative self. See you there!
