You are a writer. But why? Why do you write? It seems like such a simple question, but as you begin to answer it, you realize how much there is to untangle and just how complicated the question really is. Join us on a journey of chiseling out why you write and why being able to confidently call yourself a writer is so valuable.

  • Create your own "Why I Write" statement

    Using famous examples as your guide, create your own "Why I Write" statement or essay, using the tools and questions provided in the workshop
