In this two-part workshop, limited to 12 participants, we’ll learn the history of obituaries and their function, how that’s changed over time, what to include and what to leave out, and discuss what role they serve. From there, we’ll go through generative writing exercises to create material, write a draft, and revise with feedback. 2 sessions of 90 minutes each, $50 for both. Sessions meet from 2-3:30 PM on Feb 15 and March 1.
