Author, educator, and Debt Collective member Kristin Collier will be offering a two-part writing workshop focused on telling your debt story in short forms such as op-eds. In part one of the workshop, we’ll look at sample writing, discuss focus, structure, language, and research, and do some writing and experimentation together. You’ll leave the session with a plan to write a short essay or op-ed about your experiences. In part two of the workshop, we’ll bring in a rough draft– or the start of a rough draft– and share our work with one another, receiving whatever feedback feels most helpful. At the conclusion of that workshop, we’ll also talk about strategies for publication. 

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.
