Writing with Pain: A Generative workshop on Illness and Disability
Facilitated by Allison Blevins
Date: 12/13/25, 1-2:30pm (EST)
In this virtual workshop we will read and discuss work from writers working through illness and disability. We will discuss and practice specific writing strategies, and you will leave with concrete prompts to help you write with the pain.
