This week-long intensive workshop is designed for academic writers in 
the humanities and humanistic social sciences who wish to reach a 
broader public. Participants will be given strategies for writing for 
different audiences and for disseminating work in non-academic channels. 
Learn strategies drawn from creative non-fiction, journalism, and public 
writing, such as narrative structure, character development, voice, and 
point of view!

The workshop is limited to 18 spaces, with preference given to mid-level 
(Associate) professors and/or academic researchers who have published a 
previous book. All applicants must have completed doctoral work by May 
15, 2022. The ideal candidate is a scholar who has a clear sense of 
their project and has done significant research, but who is in the early 
stages of writing a substantial book project. This workshop is not 
primarily intended for those who are hoping to adapt an existing 
academic manuscript.

Workshop Instructors:


*Eva-Lynn Jagoe*is a Professor of Comparative Literature and Spanish, 
and Vice Principal of Innis College. She is the author of the memoir 
/Take Her, She’s Yours/ (2020), and an award-winning writer of creative 
nonfiction essays. She co-founded this workshop after learning from 
firsthand experience how hard it is to write non-academic prose.


*Gretchen Bakke*is an anthropologist and professional writer with 
extensive experience writing for both academic and non-academic 
readership. Author of /The Grid: The Fraying Wires between Americans and 
our Energy Future/ (a 2016 Bill Gates pick), and the ebullient 
genre-bending ethnography /The Likeness/ (2020), Bakke is a Heisenberg 
Fellow at Humboldt University in Berlin.
