Writing workshop led by Grace Spulak on formal experimentation in trauma writing at Autumn House Press.
Grace Spulak is leading a writing workshop on formal experimentation in trauma writing this Saturday, October 24, at Autumn House Press in Pittsburgh. It runs from 10 AM to 12 PM, so it's a morning session rather than an evening one.
The focus is trauma writing, and the "formal experimentation" part is where the work actually happens. Instead of just writing about a difficult experience in a straight line, the workshop looks at how to play with the form itself—the structure, the pacing, the way a story is put together—to find a way of speaking about trauma that a standard narrative might miss. It's about the how as much as the what.
Autumn House Press is hosting it at 5614 Elgin St, 15206, in the city. If you've been working on a piece that feels stuck or you're just interested in how form can change the way a story lands, this is exactly the kind of thing to show up for. It's two hours on a Saturday morning, so you're in and out by noon.
