Your body clocks in. Your body scrolls, swipes, buys. Your body craves, creates, breaks down, and builds back up in an economy that never sleeps. In this generative writing workshop, we'll explore the body as both subject and storyteller—writing from the flesh and breath that navigate our hyper-connected, consumption-driven world.

Over four weeks, you'll craft a complete short story that puts the body at the center of the narrative. We'll dig into how bodies experience pleasure and pain in the gig economy, how, in a world of endless choice, bodies hunger, lust, battle; how bodies love, labor and dream in or against this economic moment, even perhaps how bodies might feel when they refuse to be commodified.

Using the supportive Amherst Workshop model, participants are invited to share rough, brave, unpolished work as it emerges. No perfectionism here—just the messy, vital process of discovering what your body knows, and what it has to say about this moment. Perfect for writers ready to get physical with their fiction and explore how late capitalism impacts our most intimate human experiences.
