In this workshop you will use the format of one type of writing to present the content of another.

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.

About the branch

What was known as the Shelby Branch began in 1918 when the library was housed in old School No. 34. A new branch was constructed in 1965 at the current Shelby Street location. Following a major renovation, the branch reopened in 2011 as the Garfield Park Branch, reflecting the desire of residents to refer to the branch by their beloved and adjacent Garfield Park.
