HAVE A STORY YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO WRITE? WRITE IT NOW!
CREATIVE CHALLENGES IN MULTICULTURAL AMERICA, a writing workshop
Fae Myenne Ng
September 24, October 8, 22, November 5, 19, & December 3
Tu 10-12:30
Do you have a story you’ve always wanted to write? Join this six-week seminar and write that story now. We’ll also examine how multicultural writers deal with the personal and the political. How do we translate our bicultural, bilingual loyalties into full fictional narratives? We will discuss the writers’ technique and talent in crossing ethnic borders on the page. What empowers a writer: experience or imagination?
