The Voices In My Head Are Not My Own

Through the long haul of writing alongside or in voices that are outside of the personal ā€œIā€, this 3-day intensive navigates balancing research, ethics, representation, and publishing contracts while holding onto your own authentic voice. If you aspire to improve your craft, come learn from seasoned writers that are equipped to challenge, engage, and inform.
