Kickstart Your Novel, Memoir, or Personal Essay with Ruthie Ackerman*
Through generative exercises, readings, giving and getting feedback, and writing, writing, writing, we unlock our creative brains, take out our shovels, and dig into the mess and muck at the heart our stories. We leave with the nuts and bolts of a draft in place and the building blocks for a sustainable writing flow once at home.
