What's Killing Darlings?

They say if you want to become a better writer, then you better learn to kill your darlings. Born out of a desire to create a structure that supports writers of all kinds and styles, Killing Darlings is a low stakes writing Workshop Series provided by OMG! Education, that seeks to cultivate a flexible environment where writers are able to have some accountability as they  explore new ideas and further develop others, connect with a writers community who are also open to sharing similar goals, and perhaps kill a few darlings.

Composed of a cohort of six writers, Killing Darlings meets online every 2 weeks in a 3 month cycle, to workshop a sample of writing or an idea / project facilitated by a Teaching Artist. Each person will have the opportunity to complete two workshops focused on developing their own work and four workshops to provide feedback and support to others within the cohort. 

Interested? Submit an application today to join this Killing Darlings cohort. There are only six spots available so this application will close once all seats are filled. Questions? Email info@omgstudiosllc.com for more information.

Emma S. Rund is a Chicago-based playwright, actor, and avid reader passionate about the power of live theatre to share truth. As Tim O'Brien so beautifully wrote in The Things They Carried, "I want you to feel what I felt. I want you to know why story-truth is truer sometimes than happening-truth." She’s had the pleasure of workshopping her plays with Women’s Theatre Alliance, Wayward Sisters, Actors Theatre of Indiana (ATI), the Rogue Theatre Festival, and more. You can find Emma’s work on NPX and on her website www.emmasophierund.com
