SUMMARY:REPLAY | Writing Through the Lens: Think Like a Photographer to Craft Compelling Scenes
DESCRIPTION:Struggling with writing scenes or recreating lost memories? Thinking like a photographer can help.\n\n\n\nREPLAY INCLUDES: VIDEO\, CHAT\, PROMPTS\, HANDOUT\, AND TRANSCRIPT   \n\n\n\nNot included in the Season Pass \n\n\n\nImages can be a remarkable tool for creative nonfiction writers. Photographers use vivid prose to describe their work\, and the techniques they use to create inspired\, memorable photos can have the same effect on your writing. \n\n\n\nAs memoirists\, we choose what events and moments belong in our work. Photographers make similar decisions when composing images\, and the elements that make a picture memorable and meaningful are often the result of choices that the casual observer doesn’t even realize the person behind the camera is making. Whether you’re writing a memoir or creative nonfiction\, photographs can be a powerful tool to help you not only tap into what is happening but also show the reader why these scenes are taking place. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we will examine samples of memoir and essay that draw upon photographs to deepen scenes and characters\, and you will learn how to use these practical techniques in your own storytelling. \n\n\n\nRegistrants will receive a handout with prompts and actionable tips. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you will:\n\n\n\n\nLEARN to read photographs in order to better understand composition of scenes\n\n\n\nDRAW inspiration from two-dimensional images to “frame” your own scenes\n\n\n\nLEARN how to create compelling prose that draws your reader into your story \n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is for creative nonfiction writers who are struggling to make old memories or family tales come to life.\n\n\n\nThe live event happened in November 2023. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT YOUR PRESENTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrace Hwang Lynch is a storyteller in journalism\, essays\, and photography. Her work can be found on outlets including Tin House\, Catapult\, and NPR. Her food memoir How to Cook Rice: On the Care and Feeding of an Immigrant Family will be published in early 2027 by Regalo Press. Website: www.gracehwanglynch.com \n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Artful Intelligence: What the Rise of AI Can Teach Us about Great Writing
DESCRIPTION:In all the hype and paranoia around AI\, it’s still our flawed\, funny\, and felt humanity that brings art into the world.\n\n\n\nFor Creative Nonfiction\, Nonfiction\, and Poetry \n\n\n\nArtificial Intelligence can’t do what you can do because it doesn’t feel what you feel. Learn to harness those feelings to make original and unforgettable human art.  \n\n\n\nWe’ll explore AI via literature and writing\, with an overview of how chatbots produce “original” works\, trends in publishing and marketing related to the rise of AI\, and what artificial writing can teach us about our own\, human craft.  \n\n\n\nAs part of our investigation\, we’ll study technical aspects of AI to learn how it works and how to detect its usage. And we’ll examine how our own response to the emergence of AI can help us contend with the social\, moral\, and aesthetic challenges posed by advancements in technology.  \n\n\n\nThis webinar will allay your fears over AI taking over the world—or at least taking over the writing world—and putting all of us creative writers out of business. No prior technical knowledge is required—only a passion for reading\, exploring how technology shapes storytelling\, and uncovering how human stories shape technology. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you will:\n\n\n\n\nUNDERSTAND how so-called Artificial Intelligence actually writes\n\n\n\nEXPLORE what AI reveals about writing formulas and clichés to avoid in our own work\n\n\n\nLEARN how to write\, publish\, and stand out in a world beset by emerging technologies\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is for beginning and intermediate writers who …\n\n\n\n\nworry about AI and its impacts on their own writing and prospects for publication\n\n\n\nseek to make their own work more original and attention-grabbing\n\n\n\nwant to recognize AI “in the wild” and understand its use as a tool\n\n\n\n\nClosed captioning is available. ✔All registrants receive the recording. ✔ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT YOUR PRESENTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJaswinder Bolina’s superpower is translating complicated ideas into conversational\, humorous sessions that students find transformational for their work.
