What if you could write freely about the people from your past — both alive and dead — who have played a complicated role in your life’s story? What if you were able to write through your fear of legal repercussions, betraying your closest confidants or damaging relationships beyond repair? What if you could talk to a writer who has written honestly about their parents, siblings, exes and themselves in the public eye and faced down personal and professional consequences as a result? In this workshop, we will spend each week examining a piece of published writing(s) that BWC Founder Molly Rosen penned for The Cut and others (Maxine Hong Kingston, Ocean Vuong, David Sedaris, Alex Auder, Margo Steines) featuring a close family member or friend and review the narrative hacks that enabled her to tell the "story truth" without sabotaging her personal life. Together we’ll work through the issues that get in the way of you telling the “true” story you want to tell — the good, the bad, the ugly. Weekly free-writes with Molly will help you dive into your memories and generate without overthinking.
You will leave with a whole new set of hacks that make possible for you to write the impossible on the page.
Each class will be capped at 12 people. Our sliding scale options welcome a more diverse participation. If the cost of this course exceeds your financial capacity, please email info@brooklynwriterscollective.com and we will try our best to accommodate — if not this session, than a future one.
