The Stories We Tell: Fiction and Nonfiction

Tuesdays: February 4-March 4 (5 weeks)

7-9pm

Location: Capitol Hill

Instructor: Corinne Manning

Cost: $180

We will use this class to explore our own stories, what makes them stories, and how to best tell them. We will explore documentary work such as Sarah Polley’s film Stories We Tell and will read fiction and nonfiction by writers such as James Baldwin, Scott Russel Sanders, Eula Biss, and Mary Gaitskill. This is a great continuation course for anyone who has taken Writing Trauma/Healing Narratives or a launch off point for those interested in creating narratives, or simply finding the story.

Fanning the Flame: One on One Course

Rolling dates, 4 weeks

Cost: $180

Instructor: Corinne Manning

This is a build your own course that you and I co-create together. There are two, hour long, in person meetings at the beginning and the end of the session, and writing assignments and reading are established to best fit the needs of the individual student. This is a great launching off point for those looking to find their voice and is also a powerful option for those needing to fan the flame of their own writing process.

Note: Accessibility is limited due to four flights of stairs and no elevator.
