In this generative writing class, learn how list-making can invigorate your creative writing practice.

We’ll read examples of literary lists, play with some writing prompts, and share ideas. Lists are flexible, inviting, fun, simple, and direct, just what a writer needs when feeling listless! These techniques are valuable for both prose and poetry.

You’ll need to download the free Zoom app on your device beforehand and set up an account. Writers of all skill levels welcome. Class is free.
