SWF: Speaking Trauma’s Name in Reporting and Memoir
Many of us have experienced trauma, but we still don’t talk much about it. In this half-day workshop with award-winning journalist and author Rick Morton (One Hundred Years of Dirt), you’ll unpack the ethics of dealing with another person’s pain as a writer. Learn about making contact with sources, raising difficult subjects, and undertaking research that anchors narrative to reality. Together, you’ll discover the restorative power of truth in breaking the spell of trauma.
