Big Time Intertextuality: Layering Your Work with Others to Make a Patchwork Quilt

In this multi-disciplinary workshop, we will look at how to braid your writing with the texts of others: theoretical or academic writing, other writing in your genre, the work of artists, news stories, and more. We'll take a look at writers who do this well, and in differing ways, and we'll talk about some of the strategies to consider when integrating the works of others into whatever it is you are writing. This exploration will be most useful if you have something to work with - whether that's a finished draft, an excerpt, or even an idea. [Organizer's description]
