The artist statement is an opportunity to demonstrate that you are a thoughtful, deliberate writer who takes their literary career seriously. You’ll need a version of this statement on your grant, fellowship, and residency applications, as well as your author web page. In this class, you'll learn how to cast your work in its strongest, most evocative light.
- You’ll read statement examples and learn how vetting committees use them.
- Through a series of exercises, you’ll generate ideas on how to talk about your work.
- You’ll craft, workshop, and revise your own statement.
Writers will leave with a statement that’s ready to impress. This class is open to writers of all genres, including fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, songwriting, and graphic novels.
