Writing Into Big Questions at the Portland Book Festival (virtual)

  • Portland Book Festival Portland, OR (map)

Friday, November 4 from 11am - 1pm PT

$55

How do the big questions of our time--from climate change to racism--inhabit the stories of our lives? And what does it look like on the page to tell exquisitely personal stories in ways that gesture toward larger concerns? In this 2-hour workshop, writers uncover some of the big questions buried in their own narratives, identify research paths that might amplify the intersection between the Self and the World, connect with their own potentially-transformative obsessions, and explore how the stories we choose to tell can change us.
