True Stories Told With This and That: A Flash/Mixed Media Workshop

May 13, 2024 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM (EDT)

Description

Let's celebrate the booming market of mixed media/flash nonfiction (stories under 1000 words). Participants will explore how to blend textual and non-textual elements like audio, image, or video and learn about the craft of writing the lyric or poetic essay. Everyone will create a zine (mini-magazine) in the workshop as an example of mixed media work. Author Bio Mary Collins directs the Writing Minors at Central Connecticut State University and teaches a nonfiction workshop every summer for the Yale Summer Writing Program. Winner of the teaching award at CCSU, Collins' books, features and essays have received national awards and recognition. Prior to moving to CT in 2007, she worked as a writer and editor for National Geographic and the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. For more, visit www.marycollinswriter.com.
