Issues of social justice and advocacy can be expressed in many ways – fiction or non-fiction, short stories or novels, opinion pieces or features. Each genre has its specific demands and conventions. But what unites the work across genres is the craft of story – and the challenge to engage and hold the reader’s attention. The workshop will explore the art of story across genres, and will include discussion, writing exercises, and feedback on your projects.
