I’ve been a professional writer for nearly twenty years, and one of the best writing experiences I’ve ever had in that time was a class taught by award-winning author Steve Almond, whose upcoming Workshops for Democracy you would be an absolute lunatic not to attend. Steve has taught at Harvard and Wesleyan, and his work’s appeared in the New York Times and GQ, among many many others. Now, working with Hugo House, Grub Street, and Lighthouse, Steve has arranged for his upcoming writing workshops to be steeply discounted, with the expectation that attendees will donate to a political cause of their choosing.
