Are you a sober or sober-curious writer?  In this workshop we will explore the role of alcohol in the process and lore of writing, the stereotypes of writers who drink, how using alcohol can help or hinder the creative process, and how to explore writing without drinking. We'll also cover some practical tips on writing memoirs where alcohol or substance use is part of the story.
