Choosing Your Topic: A Lilith Memoir Writing Workshop
June 17 @ 8:00 pm – 9:15 pm
Looking for that perfect idea to write about? Or maybe you have too many ideas and are having a hard time choosing. Our lives are filled to the brim with experiences, dreams, memories—all exactly what we need for our writing.
In this generative workshop brought to you by Lilith magazine, we’ll explore a variety of techniques to help you discover what you want, and need, to write about now. Poet, author, and translator Charlotte Friedman will share short, prompted writing exercises to tap into your intuition and creativity, jog your memory, and help you get traction on the page, so you can develop and deepen the subject that is meaningful to you. Writers of all levels of experience welcome.
