This summer I’ll be teaching two classes The Writing Salon, a creative writing school for adults with locations in San Francisco and Berkeley. I teach primarily at the San Francisco location, which is at 2042 Balboa. You can check out the class descriptions and registration information via the links below:

Discover Creative Nonfiction (5 Mondays, July 13 – August 10, 6:30-9:00pm)

This five-week, in-person 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.

Writing Dynamic Settings (3 Thursdays, August 27 – September 10, 6:30-9:00pm)

In this three-week, in-person course, we’ll write about place as if it were a character itself, alive with texture and personality. We’ll also explore ways to tap into the rhythm of a place and craft writing that is dynamic and responsive.

If you are local to the Bay, consider signing up! I’d love to have you join our class community.

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).
