Explore the stories behind the images! In this creative writing session, use photographs to spark fiction, memoir, or journal entries. No experience needed—just bring your imagination.
Photographs take a moment in our lives and freezes it in time, allowing us to revisit that second over and over again. Photos unlock memories, inspire imagination, and spark personal reflection. In this interactive writing class, we’ll use a variety of photos as prompts to explore different forms of storytelling, from creative fiction to memoir and journal writing. Using photographs, you will be able to narrate a story, reflect on personal experiences, or find inspiration for your writing.
Through guided exercises, writing time, and supportive discussion, you will come out with your own story and ideas on writing from your own photos. No experience needed.
