Description

The Human Condition: JLF Colorado Writing Class with Master Writer Sarah Elizabeth Schantz Award winning, master writer, Sarah Elizabeth Schantz teaches The Human Condition In this creative writing workshop we will examine character development by focusing on both the consistencies and the contradictions that compose the complexity of what makes us human. This workshop is for writers working in both the realm of fiction and CNF and will include a lot of writing exercises and experiments designed to help writers of all levels create compelling fictitious characters and/or portray people from real life on the page; character development is an element of craft that is crucial to the stories we have to tell. While the instructor will provide some handouts and supplies, please bring a notebook and writing utensil (writing by hand is encouraged unless you have a disability or injury that makes this difficult or impossible). Sarah Elizabeth Schantz is primarily a fiction writer living on the outskirts of Boulder, Colorado in a Victorian-era farmhouse with her family where they are surrounded by open sky, century-old cottonwoods, and coyote. Her first novel Fig debuted from Simon & Schuster in 2015 and was selected by NPR as A Best Read of the Year before winning a 2016 Colorado Book Award. She runs her own creative writing workshop series called (W)rites of Passage; is faculty at Lighthouse Writers Workshop; and currently teaches in the MFA program at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics. When she's not writing, reading, or teaching you can find her taking full moon strolls around the ponds near her home, daydreaming, or soaking in a bath with so much Epsom salt it might as well be the sea. www.SarahElizabethSchantz.org and www.WritesofPassage.org
