Writing Our Lives, Writing Ourselves is a class for transgender writers and writers interested in learning more about the complexities of transgender literature and experiences. With reading materials featuring the work of transgender authors this 8-week course will focus on recognizing and raising the voices of local and global transgender writers. We’ll work through writing exercises, reading assignments, and workshops that explore the transformative power of poetry, memoir, critical essay, fiction, and creative non fiction. There will be a strong focus on writing from our own experiences of grappling with ourselves, the world, and rules imposed on us. Writers of all disciplines are most cordially welcome.
Please RSVP to Susan Rees: susan@gaycity.org
