You have a story worth sharing and I want to help you write it.
That’s why I’m teaching First Person, a personal narrative writing workshop set for June and July 2024!
This 6-week writing workshop series (hosted live via Zoom) will guide you through writing several brief personal narratives that you can later pitch to your favorite publication, adapt into a blog post, or use to jumpstart your book project. Throughout the workshop, you will also get feedback on your work from me and other workshop participants.
Here’s what to expect each week:
- 2-hour meetup
- 30 minutes of teaching on a topic related to non-fiction and personal narrative writing
- Prompts to inspire your writing
- Time to write
- Time for critique
- Time for networking and Q&A
You’ll also get two 30-minute 1:1 sessions with me.
The final workshop will also include tips on how to get your work published.
Meet the Teacher
In case you’re new around here, my name is Javacia Harris Bowser and I am an award-winning freelance journalist, essayist, and blogger and the founder of See Jane Write — a website and community for women who write and blog. I’m the author of the essay collection Find Your Way Back: How to Write Your Way Through Anything and a 2022 recipient of the Alabama State Council on the Arts Fellowship for Prose. I’ve written monthly columns for two magazines and written first-person reported essays for a number of publications including ELLE magazine.
I have 20 years of professional journalism experience, two journalism degrees and I also taught English for 10 years. So, as you write your pieces, I can help you with grammar and grit!
So let’s do this!
