Creative Writing Workshop – CSULB Students
For CSULB Students:
The third annual Helena María Viramontes Lecture in Latina/o Literature will feature an accompanying creative writing workshop for students. The workshop will provide students with hands-on writing instruction by the featured author, Urayoán Noel. Following an application submission process, selected students will have the rare opportunity to learn aspects of the creative writing process from this established and eclectic writer. Noel’s scholarly and creative interests are varied, and his work is often multimodal in nature. This enables him to provide students with writing instruction that moves beyond the traditional pen-to-paper method.
