Writing About Real People at the Portland Book Festival (virtual)

  • Portland Book Festival Portland, OR (map)

Friday, November 12 from 10am - 1pm PT

$80

How can we ethically write about other people—and what does it mean to do it well? In this 3-hour virtual workshop through Portland Book Festival and Literary Arts, writers explore the craft of building nuanced characters, reckon with owning their stories’ difficult truths, and consider the legal or logistical implications of their storytelling.
