Free Your Voice, Throw Your Voice
The main task of any writer in any form, writes Peter Elbow, is to win the reader’s trust. Voice is how we earn that trust, yet we struggle to find our voice and to throw it like a ventriloquist. We’ll read compelling voices to learn how they work, analyze our own voice, and play with voice in class and at home. Free your voice, generate new work, breathe new life into work in progress, have fun writing—and along the way learn how to write a great opening.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
