Writing Retreat: Drag Queens And Car Crashes: The “Big Turn”

This generative workshop explores how to rebel against expectations in our writing—those thrilling moments when a narrative swerves into unexpected meaning. We’ll study how writers build tension and then subvert it in order to challenge, throw off, and transform our understanding of the work, before creating drafts alongside guided prompts that aim to develop our own turns. Appropriate for writers in all genres. You may choose to write electronically with your own devices or by hand with pen and paper, and should feel comfortable sharing work in a supportive group setting. This workshop is included for Writing Retreat participants.
