All creative writing, from memoir to science fiction to poetry, is built from the foundation of the writer's own experience. In this hands-on workshop, we'll explore how to use sensory detail and vivid imagery to channel memory and emotion, building skills you can put to work in any genre. Try your hand at some exercises you can continue to use at home to spark inspiration and get your pen moving!
