I'm excited to be teaching a class on fairy tales at Corinne Manning's Living Room Workshops. Mid-December is wonderful time for contemplating magic, especially fairy tale magic. Here's the course description, with nitty gritty info below:Explore magical realism and fairy tales with 3 teachers over the course of one weekend in this moveable feast of a writing workshop. Participants will move from house to house gaining craft skills, knowledge, and writing some “marvelous” fiction and exploring the memoir as fairy tale. Readings will include Brothers Grimm, Angela Carter, and Alyssa Nutting.Each class will last 1.5 hours and will take place in Capitol Hill and the Central District on Saturday, ending in Greenwood on Sunday. Carpooling is encouraged. Course must be taken as a whole. No single class drop ins. To enroll please email corinne.manning@gmail.com.Tale: A Two-day Moveable (Writing) Feast
