In this popular creative writing workshop, best-selling author Cheryl Strayed shares the most essential lessons she’s learned about how to write stories that are brave, deep, revelatory, and crackling with life. In a series of lectures and writing prompts, we explore the power of vulnerability and fearlessness in writing, the importance of delving beneath the surface by writing with a depth of consciousness, and the artistic energy that’s created when we write vividly about our senses and the world we and our characters inhabit.
