Last fall, I joined the faculty at The Writing Salon, a creative writing school for adults with locations in San Francisco and Berkeley. This spring, I’ll be teaching two classes at the San Francisco location (in the Central Richmond / Balboa and 22nd). You can check out the class descriptions and registration information via the links below:
Writing at the Edge of Knowing (3 Thursdays, April 16 – April 30, 6:30-9:00pm)
This is a short, three-week class to support people who are trying to write about something that they find challenging to explain. Some topics from the previous installment of this class include: longing, death and grief, contradiction, desire, rage. We’ll go through some methods to address moments when language seems to fail (because it must) and how we can continue writing (because we must).
Discover Creative Nonfiction (5 Thursdays, May 14 – June 11, 6:30-9:00pm)
This five-week course introduces students to (or deepens their explorations of) Creative Nonfiction. We focus on personal essay and memoir and investigate ways to wander around in those forms while developing language for our own stories and ideas.
If you are local to the Bay, consider signing up! I’d love to have you join our class community.
