When we write stories, we are communicating. This means that we have to know what the reader is able to hear and what she will miss out on. Developing an imaginary reader (whether this is the writers who made us want to write, or a dear friend) is a useful device to help us “aim” our stories. This workshop will focus on the double consciousness that is necessary to both write from our heart and also realize that our heart can be confusing to someone who doesn’t know us.
Accepted participants will submit up to 20 pages by May 15, and will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with Akhil during the week of class.
