How can we write about food in a way that makes readers wish they had a heaping helping of the dish in question in front of them? How can writing about the cuisine we grew up eating help us tap into our cultural heritage and the lands where we’re from? How, too, can we write food in a way that doesn’t exotify or reproduce colonial attitudes to all that nourishes us? During this 90-minutes session, we’ll read some great examples of food writing and write to prompts designed to draw the best flavors out of our language.
Who Should Register?
Write Down the Street has a special focus on making the creative writing workshop more accessible to those who have been underrepresented in it due to cost, racism, immigration status, language access, lack of access to transportation, and other barriers. We believe that these voices must be spotlighted with the range and fullness they deserve.
These programs are offered tuition-free thanks to the support of generous donors who are committed to our mission of ensuring all voices are heard.
Thanks to the excellent literary citizenship of our donors, scholarships are available for all GrubStreet classes. To apply, click the gray "APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIP" button. In order to be considered for a scholarship, you must complete your application at least one week before the start date of a class. Please await our scholarship committee's decision before registering for the class. We cannot hold spots in classes, so the sooner you apply, the better. Scholarships cannot be applied retroactively.
