Writing Across Forms with The Lab

A craft talk with Matthew Clark Davison and Alice LaPlante, co-authors of The Lab, and Lauren Markham, author of Immemorial.

The Lab: Experiments in Writing Across Genre is a cross-genre craft guide with exercises that help writers move from initial impulse to final draft. Join co-authors Matthew Clark Davison and Alice LaPlante—novelists and experienced writing teachers—and author and journalist Lauren Markham to discuss experimenting with new types of writing that push the boundaries of form and meaning.

Drawing examples from Markham's speculative, book-length essay, Immemorial, Davison, LaPlante, and Markham will discuss collisions between forms and techniques and inspriational tools for getting started.

The discussion will be interactive and run from 6:30-8. Doors will open at 6 for mingling and refreshments ahead of the event.

Copies of The Lab and Immemorial will be available for purchase—looking forward to seeing you there!
