SUMMARY:How to Build a Successful Freelance Writing Career for Sex Industry Professionals with Laura LeMoon
DESCRIPTION:Writing and pitching stories from the POV of a marginalized identity like a sex worker and/or sex trafficking survivor can be extraordinarily frustrating. If editors do give you a chance at being published\, there is often the battle of expectations dictated by someone who has never spent a day in the sex industry. How can writers in the sex industry dodge being pigeon-holed by editors? How can writers in the sex industry break out into writing about non sex industry-related topics? This class will cover the basics of freelancing successfully and also address how sex workers and trafficking survivors can parlay their stories into headlines that go viral\, then push into writing on other topic areas like politics\, current events\, beauty and fashion and more!  You will leave this class with concrete tools on how to write a stellar pitch\, the basics of how and to whom to send a story idea\, and other tips and tricks for a successful freelancing career. \nOctober 28th 5 PM PST // 8 PM EST

SUMMARY:Intro to Creative Nonfiction: Let Your Story Unfold with Jennifer Lewis
DESCRIPTION:“Have you always wanted to write but are stumped by the way to tell your own story?” asks instructor Jennifer Lewis. “In this remote class\, by exploring different types of creative nonfiction\, including personal essay\, memoir and autofiction\, you will find the unique way to bring your story to life.” \nIn addition to course readings from authors like Maggie Nelson\, Kiese Laymon and Ocean Vuong\, class will be comprised of generative writing exercises and workshops. Students will learn how to combine real-world facts and personal anecdotes with literary elements such as character development\, dialogue and scene. \nJennifer says\, “In a playful manner\, we will allow form to dictate content\, and as Brenda Miller states\, ‘By doing so\, we get out of our own way; we bypass what our intellectual minds have already determined as ‘our story’ and instead become open and available to unexpected images\, themes and memories.’” \nIn a safe and supportive environment\, this class will expose you to the many ways your story can unfold\, and it will open you up to the unexpected. Come see why creative nonfiction has become the most popular genre in the literary and publishing communities. \nOctober 28 – December 02\n5 Wednesdays\, (PST) 7:00pm – 9:30pm\n\n$274.35 for members \n$295 for non-members
