Mother, father, sister, brother, crazy uncle, eccentric aunt. Flawed or fabulous, family shapes who we are. In this creative writing session, we’ll use writing prompts inspired by The Boston Globe Magazine’s “Connections” page to explore a family member important to you. You’ll walk away with the start of a personal essay about a transformative relationship.

This session will meet in person as well as live via Zoom for those who need to join the session remotely. The Zoom link will be in the registration confirmation email.
