826michigan Presents "Telling it Slant", a How To Write Like I Do Workshop with Kodi Scheer!

We've all had interesting experiences, but it's often difficult to render these experiences in a unique way. Emily Dickinson said it best: "Tell all the truth, but tell it slant." We'll talk about how to mine autobiography and then how to re-imagine and re-invent it into original fiction. Some possibilities we'll discuss: human-animal transformations, unorthodox angels and ghosts, among others.

Kodi Scheer teaches writing at the University of Michigan, where she earned her MFA. She was awarded the Dzanc Prize for Excellence in Literary Fiction and Community Service. As a recent fellow of the Sozopol Fiction Seminars, she traveled to Bulgaria to engage with an international community of writers, translators, and readers. Her stories have appeared or are forthcoming in The Chicago Tribune, The Iowa Review, The Florida Review, Quarterly West, and Bellevue Literary Review. She also serves as writer-in-residence for the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Reserve your spot in "Telling it Slant" for $25, or take advantage of our special Bring-a-Friend discount and reserve two for $40! This workshop will feature baked goods provided by Zingerman's Deli. Proceeds from the How To Write Like I Do series benefit local nonprofit 826michigan.
