Every place has a story, but to find it, we often have to use the power of natural objects. As writers, we can plant clues and seeds for our reader through objects, which can give us a story more efficiently and powerfully than exposition. In this online-only workshop, award-winning author and veteran writing teacher Meg Eden Kuyatt will discuss place and the natural object, and lead us in a writing exercise that allows us to explore and invent stories through the details of a landscape. NOTE: this month’s meeting will start a half-hour later than our usual monthly chapter meetings.

Meg Eden Kuyatt teaches creative writing at colleges and writing centers. She is the author of the 2021 Towson Prize for Literature winning poetry collection “Drowning in the Floating World,” and children’s novels including the Schneider Family Book Award Honor-winning “Good Different,” and “The Girl in the Walls” (Scholastic, 2025).
