BONE OF MY BONE: CRAFTING YOUR HISTORICAL SKELETON
Learn how to create a narrative framework, or “skeleton,” from the real life historical archive, and how to use the “bones” of history, hard facts, and dead people to give stories momentum, structure, and intrigue.
I’ll send out a Zoom link the day before. Please join us!

If you're in Portland, I'm reading at Tin House this week along with some brilliant writers. There are readings every evening on the campus of Reed College. All readings are outdoors and they're free.
Thanks for letting me share.
