The Free Generative Writing Workshops provide a space for career writers, curious beginners, writers of all levels and stages of life. Our goal is to make it easy to meet and learn from some of the most talented writer/teachers living in or passing through Iowa City. Every month a new writer leads a generative workshop, presenting a prompt inspired by their own preoccupations, passions, or interests.
Co-sponsored by Iowa City Poetry and PorchLight Literary Arts Center.
This month's leader: Lei Wang
Date: Sunday, May 17, 5:30-7 pm Central (3:30 P, 4:30 M, 6:30 E)
Platforms: You're invited to attend online or in person
Lei Wang is a graduate of the Iowa Nonfiction Writing Program and the Clarion Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers’ Workshop. Her writing has been published in Ecotone, Hunger Mountain, Meridian, and the New York Times’ Modern Love column, and she is at work on her first book, a secular myth buster on spiritual enlightenment. A recovering perfectionist, she is always on the search for tricks to get out of her own way.
