Magical Realism & Unexpected Forms: Narrating the Ordinary

CTA background

Saturday, Nov. 20
2–4 PM ET

online event; only open to Mentees & Mentors in Writing 360

Do you have a family ghost that won’t leave you alone? A talking cat? A necklace that turns a different color when spirits are around? If any of these ideas make you curious, join author María Alejandra Barrios, as she illuminates what magical realism is (and isn’t!) and the unexpected ways we can disrupt the ordinary and make room for magic in our work. In this workshop, we’ll try our hand at using non-linear formats and writing in fragments to create stories that defy the norm.
