In this popular creative writing workshop, Cheryl Strayed shares the most essential lessons she’s learned about how to write stories that are honest, alive, and unafraid. Through lectures and writing prompts, you’ll explore the power of vulnerability in writing, the importance of digging beneath the surface, and the artistic energy created when we write vividly about our senses and the world we and our characters inhabit. Cheryl speaks candidly about the struggle of writing as well as its profound joy, offering practical craft advice on structure, sentence-making, and how to make every word matter.
This workshop is welcoming to writers at every level, whether you’re a published author, working on a book in progress, or simply drawn to writing as a form of self-expression. By the end of the weekend, Cheryl hopes you’ll feel uplifted, awakened to new directions your writing might take, and more courageous in deepening your own practice.
