What role does voice play in literature? How can we find the right voice for our own piece when writing about our lives and from our memories? In this workshop, we'll brainstorm together about the writing projects we're working on as they relate to these topics. We'll also conduct close readings to understand the craft choices made by the authors and the effects these choices have on us as readers.

Free and open to the public. For more information, visit lvccsd.org or call (702) 507-6100.

She is the recipient of the Ellen Meloy Desert Writers Award and was selected for The Best American Essays, edited by Ariel Levy. She received her MFA in creative writing from the University of Minnesota and now lives in her hometown of Bishop, California.
