Write short stories with taboo themes
Why do we shy away from difficult topics? How do we write about sex, death, politics or trauma without alienating our audience? How do we build a sense of safety when putting ourselves on the line in front of family, friends and the general public?
This workshop is for writers who are interested in examining touchy subjects but don’t know how to get started. We’ll explore privilege and the idea of a writer’s responsibility while learning techniques that can help us build confidence in working with taboo themes.
