Join BWC Founder Molly Rosen’s What’s Your Damage? class this Summer —  an unabashed 8-week deep dive into the history of the core wounds, pain caves, and soul holes that plague your emotional landscape and spin them into narrative gold. You will receive a syllabus featuring readings from Ocean Vuong, Mary Gaitskill, Jesmyn Ward, Zadie Smith, Stephanie Foo, Amy Hempel, Lidia Yuknavitch, and Roxane Gay, along with immersive exercises, prompts, readings, and Action Partner Activities designed to excavate the complexities of your unique story. This will be a process-driven workshop for students hoping to create a large body of work and witness the arcs, patterns, and themes that emerge throughout their journey.  Our goal is for everyone to connect with a new creative community and make dazzling magic from dark memories. The beating heart of a propulsive memoir is the protagonist's journey to overcome their hard past! We offer sliding scale and comped spots for BIPOC students and others. Email info@brooklynwriterscollective.com to inquire.
