Writing in Color Fest: Homecoming—Elements to Bring Home to the Page

$35.00 Members
$45.00 Non-members

In this session, we’ll explore techniques for bringing a setting to life in your story through the lens of what "home" means to you. We’ll walk through sensory and mindfulness prompts to honor the authenticity of home while inviting readers to feel right at home in our writing. We’ll walk away with a short story, poem, or affirmation that can serve as a model for future writing explorations.

This class is part of the Writing in Color Fest and is open to writers of all genres and creatives who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC+). The goal of the Fest is to provide a space for writers of color to be in community and thrive as they grow their writing skills.
