Come and enjoy a writing workshop with your community and peers! Explore new styles and strategies of writing with instructor Emma Faesi Hudelson and create an essay of your own.

Playing with form can unlock new truths in content. A Hermit Crab essay is a literary version of, well, a Hermit Crab. You use the format of one type of writing to present the content of another. For example, an essay might be a Law and Order script, a bibliography, or a crossword puzzle. This workshop will include examples and prompts, and writers will leave with the start of their own hermit crab essay.

Made possible by The Indianapolis Foundation Library Fund through a grant to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.

Be sure to check out the writing workshops at other library branches this summer and fall; and mark your calendar for Meet an Author, Be an Author on October 21, 2023 at Central Library for more writing workshops and connections with local authors and writers.
