Where It Works

The same ideas work for a single visit or a semester unit, and for first-time writers or graduate seminars.

  • Universities & Colleges

    Guest sessions, methods workshops, and multi-week units for literature, writing, digital humanities, and computer science courses.

  • High Schools

    Single-class visits and short units that fit English, media literacy, and STEAM classes, adapted to each grade.

  • Creative Writing Workshops

    Generative prompts and revision exercises for writing groups, MFA seminars, and community writing circles.

  • Youth & Teen Programs

    Hands-on, low-prep formats for camps and out-of-school programs: remix challenges, group pieces, and a showcase to finish.

  • Libraries & Public Programs

    Drop-in remix tables, author-centered evenings, and media-literacy events for mixed-age audiences.

  • Museums & Community Spaces

    Sessions that connect a collection, a local archive, or a community's own writing to the practice of remix.
