The Alchemy of Autofiction with Anna Potter via Zoom

This is a one-day, four-hour workshop. Have you ever wanted to write about a life experience but found yourself hamstrung by the truth? Autofiction offers a safe space to explore a slanted truth. In this workshop, we’ll explore passages from authors such as Jenny Offill, Elif Batuman, Sheila Heti, Jeanette Wintereson, and Timothy O’Brien to explore how they use their own life experiences to power their fiction. Then we’ll take what we’ve observed and practice it on the page. Students will have the opportunity to share a piece of writing of their choice for feedback from the instructor and the class.

Please note: This class will be on Zoom. and capped at 20 students. Zoom login information will be emailed at the time of registration (please check spam/promotions filter). Please email admin@writerscenter.org with any questions.

Tickets for 4hr session are $124. Please register at:
