SUMMARY:Memory as Material
DESCRIPTION:Crafting Image-Driven Creative Nonfiction \nMemory is both a treasure and a trickster—fragmented\, selective\, and sometimes unreliable. This workshop explores how to use memory’s imperfections as creative fuel to write vivid\, image-driven nonfiction that captures the essence of moments\, emotions\, and experience in short-form narrative. Participants will examine how memory shapes storytelling\, practice mining sensory details\, and learn techniques to write with honesty\, depth\, and imaginative clarity.

SUMMARY:Workshop: What If? Building Queer Worlds in Speculative Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Speculative fiction is where queer writers ask radical questions. What if gender worked differently? What if desire was dangerous — or liberating? What if the rules of the world itself reflected your deepest questions about identity and freedom? \nIn this workshop\, you’ll start with a question that matters to you — about identity\, desire\, or freedom — and build an entire speculative world around it. You’ll design how that world affects queer people\, create a character navigating it\, and write scenes that bring it to life. \nDrawing on examples like Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness\, we’ll explore how queer speculative fiction isn’t just about representation — it’s about imagination\, worldbuilding\, and asking “what if?” in ways that reshape everything. \nCome ready to write. Leave with a story that’s entirely your own. Students are encouraged\, but not required\, to share their work.
