Writing Addiction
This class will take place via video-conferencing (Zoom), Pacific Time.
All Levels | Stories of addiction and recovery often follow a familiar fall-and-rise template that’s true in broad form but lacks the specific, nonconforming details and quirks of voice that make stories authentic and memorable. In this class, we’ll look at work from writers who have pushed past standard themes and language to tell addiction stories only they could tell, and we’ll generate new work of our own. Expect a playful, supportive, and craft-focused approach. (And a big-tent definition of addiction/recovery — substances, sex, gambling, you name it.)
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
