Adult Writers’ Studio meetings are inclusive and supportive of as many writers as possible by focusing on topics, tools, techniques, prompts, exercises, discussion, and feedback that apply to a wide range of writers' needs and interests. Discussions will be organic/based on what participants want to talk about rather than pre-constructed topics.
Desert Nights, Rising Stars, Virginia G. Piper Center ASU
Talk on Historical Fiction (October 17)
Tempe, Arizona
To push the envelope is to test a limit—to go a little farther than feels safe. For writers, this means risk. It means doubt. It means vulnerability. It means taking the leap to follow a path that perhaps only you can see.
This year at Desert Nights, Rising Stars, we ask a simple, difficult question: how do you push the envelope of your work—and find the courage to take the risks that will deepen it? In a generous, attentive community of writers, we’ll share lessons learned, examine risks of craft and content, and support one another as we listen for the heart of our stories.
