The Expansive Realist Writers’ workshop meets in person and for free in Portland, Oregon, and is available online through the Sublation Patreon.
The next in-person meet-up will most likely be held at Mother Foucault’s bookstore on June 28th, at 3 pm Pacific. More information and a confirmation of the location for the in-person free workshop will be coming soon.
We’ll be holding our next virtual Expanded Realist Writers' Workshop this Sunday, June 16th, at 12 pm Pacific / 3 pm Eastern. To join the online Expansive Realist Writers’ workshop, sign up for the Sublation Patreon at the $10 level.
In the first hour, we’ll re-evaluate two key writings that have informed the development of Expansive Realism so far.
Honoré de Balzac – The Unknown Masterpiece

Walter Benjamin – The Author as Producer

Then we’ll turn to these submissions to critique.

I'll send a Zoom link to patrons who are signed up at the $10 level an hour ahead of time on Sunday.
If you are newly discovering the workshop and want more information, you can email reportsandresearch@sublationmedia.com. Response times vary, however, and I would suggest just turning up either online or in person.
