Writing to Right the World Class #1: Finding Purpose Through Passion

September 30 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Class description:

To become a worldwright, that is, one who uses writing to make a positive difference in the world, it’s necessary to tap into your emotions, giving your words the potent charge of your love, grief, and anger.

In this session, we’ll explore how to channel your emotions into words, and how to let go of fear so that you can most powerfully write to right the world.

About this series:

In her award-winning book, Purposeful Memoir as a Quest for a Thriving Future, Jennifer Browdy coined the term “worldwright”—playwrights write plays, worldwrights write to make the world better.

In these tumultuous times, there is a greater need than ever for those of us who write, in any genre, to be aware of our creative power to make a positive difference in the world.

Jennifer has been teaching this signature class for years at the college level, and is now opening it up for a wider audience.

In this series of four classes, learn how to turn passion to purpose; find the genre that best fits your creative and activist goals; cultivate a powerful community that will help you amplify your voice and vision; and get valuable feedback on your ideas and drafts.

There’s no time like the present to become the worldwright you were meant to be. Let’s go!

The cost for the series of four classes is $149. All classes will be presented live online and recorded for later viewing by registrants.
