Join journalist and essayist Meg Bernhard for a hands-on workshop on how to break beyond conventional writing approaches and craft engaging narratives using sensory experiences. She is the 2024 recipient of the library's Spurrier-Winiarski Wine Writer-in-Residence Award. 

Workshop participants will practice documenting the senses, analyze examples of sense-driven writing, and discuss the practical applications of such writing, from narrative journalism to wine label copy and more. Includes substantial time for active discussion and Q&A, including practical guidance on crafting one’s professional identity and how good writing will impact future career growth in the fields of wine, journalism, marketing, and beyond. 

Lunch provided. Learn more and register.
