Experimental Fiction and Poetry

A Spokane Writers Conference Workshop

An experimental-writing workshop offered by PEN Award winning author Lindsay Hill for the 7th Annual Spokane Writers Conference.

In this workshop, part of the 7th Annual Spokane Writers Conference, the PEN-award-winning author of SEA OF HOOKS, Lindsay Hill, will engage participants in a conversation about how experimental writing can not only be a pleasure to read, but also lead to breakthroughs in style, form, content, and voice within one's own writing. This is a great workshop for poetry and fiction writers who are interested in expanding their writing practive.

The Spokane Writers Conference is an annual two-day event organized by Spokane County Library District and Spokane Public Library. All workshops are free and open to the public.
