I write to discover what I know.

Writing Through the Realms is a writing workshop series that engages and examines the role of connection in creative writing. Based in creative research and focused on generating new works and generative practices, students examine how the Four Realms of Connection both drive and inspire our creative expressions. We spend time as a class and individually to explore:

• the creative process

• our authorial identity and voice

• where "inspiration" comes from

• the power of perspective, persona, and the relationship to the reader

• how our work engages larger themes and systems inside the culture in which we are writing.
