Saturday, May 28, 10AM-2:30PM with half-hour lunch break
“This half-day workshop will focus on writing from the personal point of view. Using a number of writing exercises, we’ll develop humorous first personal essays, and we’ll explore ways to use that humor in other writing and performance. Come prepared to write and read some of your work aloud to the class. Feel free to email me with any questions: mjopehl@gmail.com.” – Mary Jo Pehl
