Writing Our Rage
For women, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming writers only, this is a class to get loud and messy in any category or genre. This class will emphasize writing freely without self-censorship, allowing ourselves our anger and validating it, sharing it, and supporting its expression through writing. There will be a variety of assignments, supported by positive critique and discussion, that are meant to inspire the freedom to express anger, be loud, and take up space with our work.
