Erika Schickel’s vivid, vulnerable, and often hilariously writing deftly exposes the often overlooked taboo subjects of women’s lives. Whether she’s divulging the boredom of mothering small children, exploring the breakthroughs of psychedelics, or exposing predatory boarding school teachers, she does so with heart, honesty, and humor.
She is the author of The Big Hurt (Hachette Books, 2021) and You’re Not the Boss of Me: Adventures of a Modern Mom (Kensington Books, 2007). She has taught memoir and essay writing at UCLA and privately. Her work has appeared in The Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, LA City Beat, Salon, Ravishly, Tin House, Bust Magazine, and The LA Review of Books, among others.
She is also a trained actress, performing on-camera as well as off, she has also provided the voice of a variety of animated characters. In addition, she’s written and performed a number of one-woman shows and a radio play for the LA Theatre Works series: The Play’s the Thing. Erika lives outside of Los Angeles, CA.

Description of talk:
Every story is made up of moments. How we choose those moments, describe them and allow them to reflect our themes, makes the overall story more powerful and resonant. In this workshop we will go deep on scene writing, cracking open our stories, wringing out details, and making fresh connections in our readers’ minds. Come prepared to write and re-write!
