At the intersection between autobiography and fiction is a writerly sweet spot that we’ll navigate through hands-on writing exercises and consideration of the genre-bending work of such luminaries as Ayad Akhtar, James Baldwin, Elizabeth Hardwick, Sheila Heti, and Ocean Vuong.

Sarah Combs is the author of the YA novels Breakfast Served Anytime and The Light Fantastic, both published by Candlewick Press.
