Writing Your Work Life: Transforming Workplace Realities
into Powerful Narratives with Ellen Bravo
Saturday, November 8, 1-4pm
$35 / $30 members
Ellen Bravo will guide participants through exercises on how to write about experiences on the job, both for fiction or creative non-fiction purposes. Learn to turn experiences of discrimination or exploitation into powerful narratives that resonate with the audience, raising awareness without preaching or putting folks to sleep.
Ellen Bravo, former director of 9to5, National Association of Working Women, teaches Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She also coordinates a network of state coalitions working for paid leave. Her most recent book is Taking on the Big Boys, or Why Feminism is Good for Families, Business and the Nation (Feminist Press, 2007). She's completed one (as yet unpublished) novel titled Standing Up, which was a finalist in the Barbara Kingsolver Bellwether Prize, and is working on a sequel. Ellen has been described as moving, witty and sometimes bawdy. Her website is www.ellenbravo.com
