The Writer's Studio: Haunting Voices

On October 24, please join us for Haunting Voices, a Writer's Studio workshop hosted by Valerie Kinsey.

What happens when the dead speak to us? This workshop allows us to give disembodied fictional characters - or real people who once walked the earth - a chance to tell us their side of the story. We'll consider what unfinished business they might have on earth and what the experience is like on the other side. We'll focus on voice and dialogue to inspire new stories or creative nonfiction or revise works in progress.

Valerie Kinsey is a Lecturer in Stanford’s Program in Writing and Rhetoric. Her fiction has appeared in Angel City Review, Adelaide, Arcturus and elsewhere; she also writes personal essays, which have been published in Evening Street Press and Streetlight Magazine. She earned her MFA (creative writing) and PhD (English) at the University of New Mexico. In PWR she teaches The Rhetorics of Trauma and The Rhetorics of Monuments and Memorials.
