Pacific MFA The Body Chronicles | "Neurodivergence & the Writer"
"Neurodivergence & the Writer"
Join Pacific University MFA in the next installment of The Body Chronicles programing, "Neurodivergence & the Writer."
In this three-day online workshop, we bring a focus to writing craft with a goal of increasing visibility of neurodivergence and the practice and art of neurodivergent writers. The weekend will feature facilitation from guest teachers Rebecca Makkai, Amie Barrodale, Taylor Harris, and Cari Noga. You can expect talks and writing sessions, readings and conversations, that bring lessons of craft to a consideration of neurodivergence and the writer.
Writers across all genres, of all identities, are welcome to register.
