Fall | The A.M. Memoir Workshop w Laura Moulton | Oct 14 - Nov 18 | In-person

Writing the Self

Using prompts, short readings, and discussion, this generative nonfiction workshop will focus on mining our personal histories and crafting them into the form they deserve. We’ll also explore the ways we sometimes get in the way of our own stories — and how to use that to break through and write around the blocks. CNF, personal essays, journaling...all are welcome. Open to all writers.

The Attic Experience

"I have now taken two of John Morrison's prosody workshops and am so impressed. As an amateur and unpublished poet it's easy to feel intimidated and not worthy. But with John's support I see that's not the case. Improving one's craft is an ongoing journey for all of us writers, and it can be done. Not only can it be done, but it can be fun. John had great packets ready for us so the follow along was organized and energized. Class had a great tempo and we got work done along with stimulating discussions as well. Thanks so much to the Attic and John. I'll be taking more classes, in person and online."

A Statement of Our Values

The Attic Institute of Arts and Letters opposes the legitimation of bigotry, hate, and misinformation. As a studio for writers, we do not tolerate harassment or discrimination of any kind. We embrace and celebrate our shared pursuit of literature and languages as essential to crossing the boundaries of difference. To that end, we seek to maintain a creative environment in which every employee, faculty member, and student feels safe, respected, and comfortable — even while acknowledging that poems, stories, and essays delve into uncomfortable subjects. We accept the workshop as a place to question ourselves and to empathize with complex identities. We understand that to know the world is to write the world. Therefore, we reaffirm our commitment to literary pursuits and shared understanding by affirming diversity and open inquiry.
