This multi-genre workshop is for anyone who would like to explore and/or better define their influences, interests, and identities as a writer. The course will employ a workshop model created by Matthew Vollmer and Beejay Silcox in which the focus is on collaboration and dialogue, “intrigue rather than critique, and [...] raw material and process rather than finished product.” Students will walk away from this class having received formal and informal feedback connected to their own writing, and having had the opportunity to reflect on the art/artists that their work is in conversation with.

Rebecca Spiegel teaches writing in Philadelphia, where she lives with her family. She received her MFA from the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and her first book, Without Her, is forthcoming from Milkweed Editions (fall 2024).
