You Are A Writer
A Career & Craft Workshop Series
February 2025
You Are A Writer is a series of free online workshops for early career writers. Inspired by beloved components of PEN America’s Emerging Voices Fellowship, the series will introduce topics that are foundational to understanding and launching a literary career.
Storytelling serves as a medium which can bend fact into fiction, and fiction into fact. Not only do we craft tales of characters simply from our imagination, but writing provides us the tool to tell the story of our own lives, and those around us. In memoir, personal essays, autobiographies, and more, we shine a light upon the real lives, hopes, struggles, and journeys of those around us. In this way, writers have a unique opportunity to address issues head-on, generate empathy, and help raise the collective consciousness. This year’s You Are A Writer series is dedicated to creative nonfiction writing and the stories we tell of us all.
