Writing Through Illness and Chronic Pain- Three Week Course with Women on Writing

Join us for a three week course on writing through illness, starting November 6, with Women on Writing.

Creativity is a powerful way to consider our experiences of the turmoil of the body, and manage our journey through illness in ourselves and those we love. Exploring visual art, music, and literature on these themes brings us into community with others and an understanding of their experiences, while liberating us to express our own experiences in writing. Illness impacts our family, work, friendship, sexuality, mental health, spirituality, and more. Writing about our own struggles can strengthen our craft, allow us honest communication about our experiences, connect us to others, and enrich and empower us to live a full life despite the limits of our physical selves.


Participants can write poetry, non-fiction, short fiction, or any form that works for them. There will be room in each class for discussion about our experiences and our work. Content warning: this class will involve writing, art, and frank discussion on illness, grief, and the body.
