When the world sucks, writing is an act of resistance. This masterclass explores how to channel rage and grief into powerful fiction without sacrificing your craft. We’ll talk about play, joy, and creativity-care, and we’ll also dive into the how of writing about the difficult stuff. Perfect for writers who want both escapism from the evils of the world and the tools to shine a spotlight on those evils.
