Silent Book Club - Torrance's First Writing Workshop!
Join Silent Book Club - Torrance for the launch of our fiction writing workshop series. Our mission for this series is to foster a South Bay writers’ community through sustainable workshops and professional development. We've been flabbergasted by the lack of writing communities in our area. We hope to start a community centered on writing where all are welcome, whether you're an aspiring pro or just write as a hobby. Come meet new people, sharpen your writing skills, and learn how to get published if you book a Tier 2 ticket for Volume 1. Volume 1 and future volumes will be standalone writing workshops meaning: you do not need to have attended previous sessions to join us, and there is no long-term commitment required. Come for one, or come for them all! For this writing series, we are excited to introduce our host, Yimin (Tori) Huang. Learn more about the worldwide Silent Book Club movement here.

In this session, Tori will lead a deep dive into "defamiliarization" - the art of making the familiar feel unfamiliar. She will walk you through on how to describe a familiar setting in an uncanny way using sensory details and then applying what you learned during the workshop. You will receive concise feedback from Tori and the group.
You will be able to purchase Tori's powerful poetry book, Estrangement, on-site at a 10% discount. The book delves into various forms of estrangement from politics, familial, and societal expectations.
We hope to see you there!
