Join acclaimed author and educator Jeff Kass for Writing to Uncover and Discover. In this age of AI slop and doomscrolling through short-form videos, learn how to slow down the world, excavate the powerful stories residing both inside us and in the environment around us, and then voice those stories through compelling performance.
This free workshop is open to writers with any level of experience, but space is limited and registration is required. A light dinner will be provided.
The workshop is made possible thanks to a Saginaw Community Foundation Access and Opportunity grant. We are thankful for the support they provide to our community.
