New political writing workshop in the Washington, D.C. area! Do you want to become a better advocate? My next “Writing for Advocacy” series will run at The Writer’s Center in Bethesda, MD, beginning September 14 and running for four consecutive weekly sessions.

(If you’d like to talk to Tracy about the possibility of bringing her workshop to your private group, use the Contact form to get in touch with her.)

“This Essay Isn’t Your Business” is the most personal essay Tracy’s ever published. After the fall of Roe, women need to share their stories just to prove they deserve bodily and medical autonomy. Find Tracy’s story at Pangyrus.
