Johanna Skibsrud at AfterWords Literary Festival

September 26 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

$25

AfterWords Literary Festival presents Johanna Skibsrud, author of MediumJohanna will be teaching the Omniscient Mind workshop.

Description: We’re often told, “write what you know!” but we don’t often pause to reflect on what that really means—or what kind of challenge that phrase extends to us as writers. Everything we know of the world—whatever we encounter of it through direct or mediated experience, as well as everything we’ve ever dreamed about, feared, or imagined—can become the material for writing. Whether we’re working on a science fiction novel or an autobiography, thinking of knowledge and experience in these broad terms may enrich our writing and expand our ways of knowing both ourselves and the world around us. This workshop will propose numerous creative exercises with an emphasis on embodiment and play. The overall aim will be to build a concrete skill-set for increased attention to what we may not yet even realize we know.
