How can we ethically write about other people—and what does it mean to do it well? In this 6-hour workshop, you'll explore the craft of building nuanced characters, consider the legal or logistical implications of your storytelling, and reckon with owning your story’s difficult truths, alongside examples from published authors' experiences. Writers will be given an optional pre-assignment and should plan for reflective writing and deep discussion during class.

Please note that this class has been changed to VIRTUAL.
