Join award-winning author and editor Ariel Gore for a conversation and mini-workshop on translating your research for non-academic genres including personal essays, fiction, memoir/autofiction, and journalism. What does your reader need to know? How do you find a balance between your own voice and the words of others? What do you do about things like citation? A master of deeply-researched personal narrative, Gore will share decades of experience, take questions, and offer some tools to get started.

This event is open to graduate students as well as faculty.

Space is limited and first-come, first-serve, so register now!

Participants will receive a short excerpt of Ariel Gore’s new book, Rehearsals for Dying (The Feminist Press) via email upon registration but may want to consider reading the whole book or attending Gore’s Living Writers reading on 11/6.
