Is writing fiction just an elaborate process of making up lies based on real experiences?How do we use social media to to build an ideal version of ourselves? Is creating a curated persona through Facebook and Instagram a kind of lie? Or is it self-preservation? Why, exactly, are we are so tempted to curate our identities? And how does that effect the writer in all of us?During this 6-week program, we’ll explore how social media is changing the nature of writing, with Canadian novelist, Emily Pohl-Weary, and other local guest authors. TRUE LIES will culminate in a final public reading event, where you’ll have a chance to share your work!Registration is free and required.Wednesday April 22, 5-7pmWednesday April 29, 5-7pmWednesday May 6, 5-7pmWednesday May 13, 5-7pmWednesday May 20, 5-7pmWednesday May 27, 5-7pm
