The Center for Fiction Presents Melissa Febos and Brandon Taylor on Narrative Craft
Thursday, March 24, 2022
12:10 pm to 1:25 pm
Critically acclaimed authors Melissa Febos (Body Work, Abandon Me, and Whip Smart) and Brandon Taylor (Filthy Animals, Real Life) dig into the radical power of personal narrative, with special attention to the rigor of craft. A story must not only be well told, it must be well constructed. But what does that mean for your work? This is less of a how-to and more a call to courage: for great writing has the potential to be revolutionary. This event will be livestreamed. ASL interpretation and live captioning will be provided.
