Writing Workshops with Mary Sojourner

Pima Community College West Campus is hosting a wide array of weekend writing workshops ranging from Memoir Crafting to Poetry Workshops. Led by authors and professional writers, these workshops offer an opportunity to get hands-on experience and explore a variety of creative writing topics.

On April 13-15, Mary Sojourner, Issue 3 contributor, will lead the in-depth writing workshop, w(Rite): A Workshop in Deep Writing and Craft. The workshop will feature exercises and activities that help writers craft and “move personal writing into publishable work.”

Mary Sojourner is the author of novels Sisters of the Dream and Going Through Ghosts, and short story collection, Delicate. Sojourner is also known for her essay collection Bonelight: ruin and grace in the New Southwest and memoirs, Solace: rituals of loss and desire and She Bets Her Life. She has appeared as a commentator on NPR and teaches writing at colleges, universities, writing conferences, and privately. You can read her blog at marysojourner.com, or the November SR interview with Sojourner here.

    Mary Sojourner was so much fun to talk to when she came and did a reading for us last semester. She had me thinking for days about some of the insight she shared with us about contemporary life. I really wish I didn’t work weekends so I could go to this workshop!

    Would love to attend Mary’s writing workshop as well. After reading her interview with Jake Adler, I would just to love to hear her say more about her relationship with writing. I’d like to hear her thoughts on writing as a “possession” and a “torment.” I feel like I can relate.
