Author, educator, and Debt Collective fellow Kristin Collier will be offering a two-part writing workshop focused on telling your debt story in short forms such as op-eds. The workshop will be loosely organized around the framework of “seeing red,” the unique, important ways in which borrowers, who live in the red, see the world, and the stories we must tell in order to build the world we deserve.

Please join regardless of where you are in the process of talking or writing about your debt story. We welcome storytelling around debt of all kinds– not just student debt.
