We live in a world of emails, texts, and Snapchat “conversations.” Communication is produced and consumed like fast food. Let’s slow it down a bit and reembrace the personal letter. In this workshop we’ll explore letter writing as a creative art that deserves our full attention. We’ll discuss personal letter writing as well as how to use the letter writing format to inform and enhance fiction, essays, and poetry.
Christine Green is a freelance writer in Brockport, NY and writes a Literary Arts column for Rochester’s Democrat and Chronicle. Green hosts a monthly literary reading,”Words on the Verge,” at A Different Path Gallery. She grew up in San Jose, CA and holds a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from UC Berkeley and a master’s degree in historical archaeology from the College of William and Mary. She is also a 2016 Pink Door Literary Fellow.
