Writing Workshop: The Power, Destruction, and Symbiosis of Friendship

About WorkshopIn this workshop you will hear presentations on literature that revolve around how redeeming and troublesome care can be in close relationships. Caring can create both symbiosis and rejection, and it creates new depth in relationships and provides insights that can shape literary works both large and small.

Together, in this workshop, we will plunge into writing texts based on the close relationships that are often where people have the most at stake. It can be one of the most difficult things to write about because it confronts us with difficult and complex emotions, but if we dare, it can pave the way for writing original narratives, characters and scenes.

The workshop does not require any writing skills, anyone can join.
