American Book Award-winning novelist Maisy Card (These Ghosts Are Family) leads another workshop (Part 1 not a requisite) that provides a basic overview of how we can turn our life experience into creative writing.

Through writing exercises and a study of published works, participants will leave class with an understanding of the structure of personal essays and a draft of their own story.
