Description

Have a story you'd like to tell? Don't know where to start? Personal stories are often the hardest to contemplate. What will people say? Can I do the experience justice? This sort of questioning can trap and distract a writer from the details that can be addressed and recorded. Creative non-fiction is after-all a practice. Like anything else there are tricks of the trade and community in the writer's room. Join us for "Personal Encounters" a workshop in the personal essay. 

Jesse Longman is a writer and mother whose work has been published and produced internationally. An MFA recipient in Theater from Columbia University. She is a columnist for the Spectator magazine and a life-long resident of Ridgefield. 

Classes take place over four weeks, starting on Thursday, July 11 through Thursday, August 1.  By registering for the first class you are automatically registered for all four sessions.

This program is part of the Library's A Universe of Stories Adult Summer Reading Program and is made possible thanks to the Friends of the Ridgefield Library.
