The DC area is rich with history, and the resources to explore it. This five-week course will be a collaborative workshop that will teach participants a variety of techniques to find what they’re looking for and work it into a gripping and informative novel. You’ll learn how to find archived resources; cultivate relationships with both the people charged with maintaining those resources and those with a connection to the historical event involved; use a broad array of information to capture the feel of life at the time of the events; and employ other useful investigative and literary techniques. At the final two sessions, participants will share their ideas and suggestions about how to research and write each other’s work.
In-person class: This workshop will take place at 4508 Walsh St. Bethesda, Md. Participants will receive more information regarding COVID protocol closer to the start date.
