Illness and disability are universal human experiences, but too often these experiences are narrowly categorized into either medical freak show stories or “inspirational” narratives.

These constraints can shut down our creative work, self-reflection, and inquiry into our experience. And they leave too many stories untold.

This day-long workshop will begin by addressing clichés for writing about the body, chronic illness, and disability, then dive into how you can successfully write into and against those expectations. You’ll leave this workshop with a greater understanding of voice and the value of a narrator; strategies for incorporating technical research into your writing; fresh material and writing prompts; and personalized peer feedback on your work.

*Reserve your spot today to write your story with visting author Sonya Huber! Space is limited for this exclusive day-long workshop.
