Writing and Publishing

How do we tell our own stories? What do our personal histories say about the collective human experience? The biggest advice from writing professors is usually to “write what you know,” and nowhere is this more evident than in autobiographical writing – be it fiction, non-fiction, poetry or genre-bending works. Authors from Charlotte Brontë to Ocean Vuong have used their personal experiences to dictate their writing and capture a universal message that strikes a chord with others. In this workshop, **we’ll explore how to channel our inner stories and write from a place that moves us** – at the end of the day, whether or not what ends up on paper is “factually true” will be beside the point. **Please bring a notebook and pen, or a computer or tablet, in order to do a few writing exercises. You can also purchase notebooks at the bookshop.** *About the host:* **Lucia Benavides** is an Argentine-American writer and journalist. She has published several personal essays in LA Review of Books, Literary Hub and The Washington Post. From 2017 to 2022, she served as the NPR correspondent from Spain. She’s currently working on her first novel.

Instagram: @cercleahimsa Vine a gaudir i compartir una sessió basada en el ioga i en l'energia del cicle lunar. Cada setmana fem una sessió diferent aprofitant el moment lunar en el qual ens trobem, per exemple lluna plena: agraïment, lluna minvant: deixar anar... El pes central de la sessió està en la pràctica de ioga, però també fem una meditació profunda d'uns 10 min mínim i una conclusió de la sessió expressada a través de l'escriptura terapèutica o de l'expressió artística. Som un màxim de 8 persones i així creem espais de confiança i d'obertura on, a través del cos i el moviment, anem apropant-nos al camí de l'autoconeixement i la pau. Instagram: @cercleahimsa

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.

Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
