Somerville Skillshare!

Just a quick post to announce that I'll be teaching a creative writing class at the first-ever Somerville Skillshare at the Armory on Sunday, March 2, 2014! The event is free and open to all (not just residents of Somerville). I found out about the Skillshare through my dear friend Amy Lou, applied to teach, and wound up on the planning committee, which has been a ton of fun. The Skillshare is the brainchild of John Massie, a lifelong Somerville resident who is really passionate about building community through knowledge sharing. Sharing the joy I find in storytelling in such a fun exploratory setting is going to be a hugely rewarding experience for me.

Read my Q&A here (in which I discuss the philosophy and goals of the class) and then head over to the Classes page to see what other modules you might like to take. I'm particularly excited for Emily Garfield's Imaginary Mapmaking and Liz Corkery's Intro to Screenprinting (though I could go on, there are loads of classes I hope I have time to sit in on, like windowsill gardening and lacto-fermentation.) [Update, 2024: links removed, website defunct!]

If you don't live in the Boston area, I'd be so grateful if you could pass the word to any friends of yours who are local. Very excited for March 2nd!
