Writing for action. Sounds simple, right? Yet we live in a society that’s full of distractions. To write for action means that we must use our unique voices—as writers like Gloria Naylor, Rachel Remen, Frederick Douglass, and Eboo Patel have done before us—to make a positive impact on individuals and our communities. Using our voices for and with others helps us to lean in to the magis. We’ll look at how various writers have encouraged others toward action, and you’ll choose a small-scale project to craft during our session.
