Market Street Writers

Your daily life can be a gold mine for your writing. Find out how in this free class from award-winning author Sonya Huber.

Sonya Huber’s most recent book is Supremely Tiny Acts: A Memoir of a Day (Mad Creek Books, Oct. 2021), a book-length memoir about a single day. This class will focus on options available to structure and write about the everyday, including the forms of the diary, stream of consciousness, composite memories, flash-forward and flash-back, and memoir made with episodic and lyric structures. Sonya will also give participants some background on the long lineage of writing daily ephemera or the mundane, and giving writers strategies for reflecting on what we might otherwise overlook when we&#x27;re considering possible topics. Finally, we will participate in a “day-in” exercise in which we write about what’s happened to us on the day that we gather for the class (no advanced preparation required) as a way to experiment with the overlooked details of our lives as rich sources of inspiration for writing. A Zoom link will be emailed to participants the day before the event.About SonyaSonya Huber is the author of six books, including the award-winning essay collection on chronic pain, Pain Woman Takes Your Keys and Other Essays from a Nervous System and Supremely Tiny Acts: A Memoir in a Day. Her other books include Opa Nobody, Cover Me: A Health Insurance Memoir, and The Backwards Research Guide for Writers. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Brevity, Creative Nonfiction, and other outlets. She teaches at Fairfield University and in the Fairfield low-residency MFA program.
