Write About Your Life in a Comic Strip
(no drawing involved!)

4 Thursdays, October 26, November 2, 9, 16
5:00pm-7:00pm PT

Zoom - $250

Former Rolling Stone journalist, humor writer and comic strip artist Jenny Jedeikin will teach students how to produce their own personal narrative graphic stories in this virtual four-session class. 

When we express our lived experience through the lens of humor we expose ourselves as imperfect narrators. Writing which reveals our pain and vulnerability can often be a healing way to work through personal challenges - past and present. Discover your authentically funny voice in this engaging workshop, where you will be led through a series of generative writing exercises to create a personal comic strip, using words and pictures from your every day life. 

No experience is required to participate.
PLEASE NOTE: Class requires students to download easy-to-use $30 comic strip software between the first and second class.
