SUMMARY:Veteran Writing Workshop: Writing in Harmony: The Collective Voice in Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Characters in stories are not always confined to solitary existences. They exist in groups\, in congregated masses\, in what we might term as collectives. \nThese collectives might be construction workers\, or a platoon of soldiers\, or a classroom filled with twelfth-graders. They might be a grocery co-op\, or a neighborhood social group\, or even a barrel of monkeys or a pride of lions. In this session\, we will generate fiction that gives narrative voice to a collective within a story while showing how a single\, articulate murmur might emerge from this group consciousness. Register today! Open to all skill levels. Free for current and prior military members. Register at Eventbrite \nTaught by Clayton Bradshaw-Mittal. \nClayton (they/them) is a queer\, previously unhoused veteran who holds an MFA and a PhD in Creative Writing. They teach Creative Writing at Gannon University and are the Managing Editor of New Ohio Review and No Place is Foreign Editor at Another Chicago Magazine.
