Mental health stories speak to our darkest truths and teach us what it means to be human. Learn five craft tools for telling your own.
Mental health is often branded “taboo” and, for writers of memoir and personal essay, these stories can be our most vulnerable and challenging material. But there’s a reason these types of narratives are so sought after. At their best, they speak to our darkest truths and teach us what it means to be human.
In this webinar, we’ll dive headfirst into these treacherous waters and discuss strategies for crafting compelling, emotionally resonant personal narratives about mental health. We’ll study works by Roxane Gay, Esmé Weijun Wang, and others to uncover ways to write beautifully crafted, “un-put-down-able” memoirs and essays centering on mental health. We’ll also discuss strategies for self-care and “productive procrastination” so you can stay well during the writing process. You’ll leave with take-home writing exercises and a toolbox of new strategies.
Includes live Q&A and a recording you can revisit for 90 days.
