Queering The Narrative with The Loft Literary Center

In this class we will challenge and reshape traditional storytelling norms through the lens of LGBTQ+ perspectives. Together we will explore how queer identities, experiences, themes, and histories can redefine narrative structures in prose. We will investigate how to craft compelling stories that authentically reflect diverse identities. Whether you’re interested in writing fiction, memoir, or creative nonfiction, this class invites you to explore the transformative power of queerness in shaping contemporary literary writing. This course is designed for young-adult writers ages 13-18!
