Led by a diverse cadre of award-winning writers from the MFA Program in Writing at California College of the Arts, this 60-minute workshop will teach you how to bring the places and times you write about to life. Whether you’re writing essays about your travels, tackling a family memoir, or dreaming up fictional worlds, captivating readers depends on your ability to create an immersive sense of place. Through instruction, small-group discussions, in-class writing prompts and a question-answer period, participants will discover new ways of energizing their current and future writing projects.
