Survivors of Human Trafficking: Turning Silent Voices into Prose, with Tess Cacciatore

Sex trafficking, labor trafficking and 21st century slavery have been proliferating, including here in Ventura County. How can we use our writing skills to help bring more attention to these issues and their survivors? In this workshop, we will be joined by some survivors of trafficking and hear about their experiences, with performance assistance from some of our Ventura County poets. Please note: The material in this workshop will be highly sensitive and potentially triggering for some attendees.

“Writers in the Gallery” meets on the first Wednesday of each month (from 6:30pm to 8pm) with different hosts conducting experiential workshops to inspire writers (and nonwriters) of all genres – fiction, nonfiction, memoir, poetry, storytelling, etc. – to improve the quality of their work. Check out the prose, poetry, essays, and experiential writing exercises at www.WritersintheGallery.com.
