SUMMARY:The Eerie Twinship Between the Haunted and the Nostalgic
DESCRIPTION:Explore how haunting and nostalgia can reshape narrative perception and deepen your fiction.\nThis craft talk and generative workshop examines how absence\, memory\, and longing operate in fiction through the twin lenses of haunting and nostalgia. Through close readings of writers such as Carmen Maria Machado\, Angela Carter\, and Helen Oyeyemi\, alongside ideas from thinkers like Mark Fisher and Svetlana Boym\, participants will explore how these forces reshape narrative perception and atmosphere. Handouts with selected excerpts will be provided\, and short generative writing exercises will allow participants to immediately apply these concepts and build new material on the page. By the end of the session\, participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how haunting and nostalgia function as structural tools in storytelling\, as well as new pages generated during the workshop. \n\n\nLive video conference: This workshop will be held via our online video conferencing platform\, Zoom. You can view brief tutorials on using the platform here. On the start date or the day before\, participants will receive an email with login info (please check your spam if you don’t see it). \n\nIn this workshop you’ll learn:\n\nThe Eerie\, the Haunted & Nostalgia as Narrative Tools\nUsing Memory & Absence to Build Narrative Tension\nClose Reading for Craft Insight\nApplying These Tools Through Generative Writing\n\nTime requirements\n\nN/A\n\nMaterials\n\nAll reading materials will be provided.\n\nWho should take this workshop?\n\nThis workshop is designed for fiction writers\, creative nonfiction writers\, and hybrid writers who are interested in exploring how atmosphere\, memory\, and perception shape narrative.
