Ploughshares Master Class 2/13

The Ploughshares Master Class Series at the Writer’s Room of Boston is a five-week evening series for emerging and established writers alike. Each generative workshop riffs off an archival Ploughshares literary piece, inviting participants to engage directly with the journal’s rich history while creating new work of their own.

Led by editors, poets, designers, and marketers from the Ploughshares community, sessions combine close reading, guided prompts, discussion, and optional sharing in a supportive space. Writers across genres will leave with fresh drafts and practical craft tools. Excellent work generated by attendees in these sessions will be considered for publication on the Ploughshares blog.

Using Ploughshares’ nonfiction-only Fall 2012 issue as inspiration, Ploughshares reader Ciera Miller leads a generative workshop
exploring personal, visual, and fragmented nonfiction forms. Participants will experiment with nontraditional structures and leave
with fresh approaches to writing nonfiction.

$12, $5 for low income/students. Free for members/fellows of the Room.
