SUMMARY:Writing with Research
DESCRIPTION:– WORKSHOP FULL- \nWednesdays | November 6 to December 18\, 2024 | 5 to 7 p.m. PST | Virtual\nRegistration closes on November 2 at 11:59 p.m. PST – Open to the public. \nWriting with Research is a 6-week-long workshop with award-winning writer and researcher Lauren Markham. Each participant will be able to submit one (1) piece of writing for workshop and receive written feedback from the instructor. \nSo much of what falls under the umbrella of “creative nonfiction”—essays\, memoir\, reportage—relies on research: going to sources outside of ourselves to help bring our work to life. All the same\, accumulated research can be unwieldy and threaten to bog down the text. In this course\, we will attend to the questions of how we transform the fruits of our research into vivid\, meaningful prose. How do we incorporate our research while keeping air in the text\, without defaulting to or devolving into overly dutiful or academic-style writing? Through assigned readings\, in-class exercises\, large- and small-group discussions\, and workshopping of participants’ prose\, this class will serve as the container for a deep inquiry into the art and craft of fact-based creative work. \nLauren Markham is a writer based in California whose work regularly appears in outlets such as Harper’s\, The New York Review of Books\, The New York Times Magazine\, and VQR\, where she is a contributing editor. She is the author of the award-winning The Far Away Brothers: Two Young Migrants and the Making of an American Life and the critically acclaimed A Map of Future Ruins: On Borders and Belonging. Her third book\, Immemorial\, will be published by Transit Books in 2025. \nFor more information\, please contact Lindsay Wright at workshops@lareviewofbooks.org. \nREGISTER TODAY!

SUMMARY:The Art of the Personal Essay
DESCRIPTION:– WORKSHOP FULL- \nTuesdays | November 5 to December 17\, 2024 | 6 to 8 p.m. PST | Virtual\nRegistration closes on November 1 at 11:59 p.m. PST – Open to the public. \nThe Art of the Personal Essay is a 6-week-long workshop with award-winning memoirist\, essayist\, and children’s book writer Nadja Spiegelman. The class will take place on Zoom on Tuesdays from November 5 until December 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. PST. Each participant will be able to submit one (1) piece of writing for workshop and receive written feedback from the instructor. \nWhat are the stories you alone need to tell? In this class\, we will move from the mechanics of the craft (how to portray compelling characters\, develop an effective narrative structure\, and edit oneself) to the more profound questions of artistic responsibility\, such as which stories we own\, and why\, and what it means to write about the people we love. In addition to reading and critiquing each other’s work\, each week will feature short exercises designed to liberate creative thinking and push into new territory. You do not need to have a story already in mind to take this course; we will work on finding your stories together. This class is intended to be a freeing and supportive space\, where each of us can explore the questions we have about our lives\, rather than the answers\, and learn to give shape to our experiences through our words. \nNadja Spiegelman is the author of the memoir I’m Supposed to Protect You from All This\, as well as four children’s books\, including the award-winning Lost in NYC. She was the editor-in-chief of Astra Magazine\, and is a contributing editor at The Paris Review. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times Book Review\, The New York Review of Books\, The New Yorker\, The Cut\, and more. \nFor more information\, please contact Lindsay Wright at workshops@lareviewofbooks.org. \nREGISTER TODAY!
