Fiction & Memoir Generative Surge

A generative prose workshop with Dylan Landis For writers at all levels who wish to advance work in progress or launch something new. This workshop is structured around a timing and intention-setting method that helps writers work in highly productive bursts with enhanced focus. Prompts will be provided to those who find them useful. During a break, we'll also engage a deep relaxation method that segues, for each writer, into a silent interview with a chosen character (fictional or real), deepening access to our own subconscious material. About the Facilitator Dylan Landis is the author of List of All Possible Desires and Normal People Don’t Live Like This, both novels in stories, and Rainey Royal, a novel and New York Times Editors’ Choice. Her fiction has appeared in the O. Henry Prize Stories and Best American Nonrequired Reading, and her essays in Harper's Magazine and Modern Love. She lives in Los Angeles.
