Writing in First Person
All Levels. First-person point of view remains one of the trickiest strategies for any writer, even though it can be one of the most effective ways of telling a story. This class will discuss first-person point of view in memoir, travel pieces, humor, and other genres. In addition to learning first-person strategies, participants will generate story ideas for first-person narratives.

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.
