SUMMARY:HOW-TO TUESDAY: Diving Into Topics that Matter to You: Writing & Publishing Op-Eds With Kelly Caldwell
DESCRIPTION:We’re living through an era when other people’s opinions are on blast\, all the time\, everywhere we go. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t voice your own —  it just means you might want to do so effectively\, and with style. \nIn this session\, we’ll discuss how to go beyond downloading our thoughts to crafting a good op-ed\, one where writers share their expertise and weigh-in on the most critical issues of the day. \nIn this session\, together we’ll explore: \n\nBlending the art of creative writing with the tools of logic\, both of which are key to writing an op-ed that works;\nFinding the right audience for your work\, preferably in an outlet that pays;\nGenerating ideas for and outlining a few op-eds of your own.\n\nOp-eds are a good way for new writers to break into publishing and for established ones to expand their brand or promote forthcoming books. And in the fever swamp of our current public life\, you don’t want to write something sloppy that\, three news cycles later\, you’re apologizing for on social media. \nWe hope you will join us! Note: All registered attendees will get a link to the recording\, so be sure to register even if you cannot make it life. \nAbout the series: How-To Tuesdays are monthly talks on the craft of creative nonfiction\, publishing\, marketing and the writing life led by Hippocampus Magazine editors & contributors. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nKelly Caldwell’s essays\, articles\, and op-eds have appeared in Vox\, House Beautiful\, The Writer\, sugarsugarsalt\, Pacific Standard\, the Huffington Post\, and Newsday\, among others. She teaches creative nonfiction and is dean of faculty for Gotham Writers Workshop in New York City. So far\, she hasn’t published anything that’s prompted Neil DeGrasse Tyson to mock her on social media.  \nAll of our speakers have a connection to Hippocampus Magazine. Her work also appears in our craft anthology\, Getting to the Truth: The Craft and Practice of Creative Nonfiction (Hippocampus Books).

SUMMARY:HippoCamp Minis: CRAFT - 5 CNF Writing Topics in a Flash (2025)
DESCRIPTION: **If you are having trouble checking out** you may now also purchase a registration at our Books website — this is a temporary workaround until our magazine website issue is resolved. Registration includes access to the recording for 30 days. \nSome conferences call these fast-paced events lightning round talks. In honor of the short CNF subgenre\, we call them flash sessions! These have always been a popular and fun part of our in-person HippoCamp conference and\, this year\, we’re once again bringing their magic online. \nIn our Saturday HippoCamp Minis sessions\, you’ll hear from five speakers who will share bite-sized wisdom with practical takeaways on a topic they’re passionate about\, all related to writing creative nonfiction. \nThis is ONE OF FOUR events we’re hosting the weekend of the 16-17th! Read about all of them here. \nThis webinar session will feature: \nDon't Panic: How to Give Sensitive and Effective Written Feedback (Justin Ancheta)\nHas this ever happened to you? You exchanged pieces in a writing group or workshop\, only to discover that the feedback you’re giving isn’t landing very well with others in your group. Or maybe you’re finding the process of giving feedback really hard\, and you don’t know what to say about a piece you’ve received? \nFrom their experience as a volunteer essay reader with Hippocampus Magazine\, Justin Ancheta shares an approach to giving feedback that makes the process more satisfying and ultimately more useful for everyone involved. \nThis session will: \n\nshare tips for how you can give more actionable feedback that other writers can use\ncovers how you can provide more feedback specificity for writers\, to help others move forward\nexplore how you can give feedback that honours the lived experience of other writers\n\nAbout the speaker: Justin Ancheta (He/They) lives in Treaty 13 territory and is a stuttering Filipino-Canadian passionate about the tarot\, science\, spirituality and queerness. Their hybrid CNF draws from their experience as a racialized bi+ ace person with a speech disorder. Their work has been published in AZE Journal\, Queer Toronto\, carte blanche\, The Tahoma Literary Review\, and The Ex-Puritan. He is working on a memoir-in-pieces as a collection of lyrical creative nonfiction\, and an examination of the tarot from an asexual perspective. He is @rampancy on Instagram and @jancheta25 on Bluesky. \n\nNot Just a Backdrop: Writing Place as a Lived Experience (Aurora Bonner)\nPlace is often thought of as scenery—there\, but not integral. Yet place does more than set the scene: it evokes emotion\, reveals identity\, and anchors narrative in lived experience. When we treat place as a passive backdrop\, we miss the chance to deepen meaning and bring our stories to life. \nIn this flash session\, writer and teacher Aurora Bonner shares insights on writing place as personal\, dynamic\, and embodied. We’ll consider how our experiences shape the way we see and describe the landscapes we inhabit and explore how place can function as more than just setting—it can be emotional terrain. \nThis talk will: \n\nunpack what it means to write place as a “lived experience” and why that matters in CNF\nexplore how identity\, emotion\, and perspective shape our perception of landscape\noffer practical tools and revision tips for making place more specific\, personal\, and alive on the page\n\nAttendees will leave with strategies to energize their work with richer\, more intentional depictions of place—and prompts to help them return to familiar settings with fresh perspective. \nAbout the speaker: Aurora Bonner is a place-based writer of creative nonfiction and fiction who explores the relationship between identity and environment. Her writing has appeared in the anthologies Rivers\, Ridges\, and Valleys and DINE\, as well as in HerStry\, Impost\, Under the Gum Tree\, and other literary journals. She regularly reviews books for Colorado Review and Hippocampus Magazine. Aurora is a writing professor at McDaniel College in Maryland and leads workshops and retreats focused on nature\, creativity\, and personal narrative. She holds an MFA from Wilkes University. \n\nFirst\, Second\, Third: Experimenting with POV in CNF (Jackie Domenus)\nOftentimes\, CNF writers naturally gravitate toward the first person singular point of view in the past tense to tell our stories. But what literary magic can we unlock when we change the “I” to “you\,” or when we refer to our child-selves in the third person\, or when we speak directly to a loved one in our writing? How can we refresh our own craft and processes when we shift away from the “traditional”? In this craft mini-session\, we will: \n\nConsider the function and impact of different POVs in CNF when they are used with intentionality\nExplore examples of experimental POV by acclaimed CNF writers\nConsider ways to experiment with POV in our own writing\n\nAbout the speaker: Jackie Domenus (they/she) is a queer\, gender nonconforming writer from South Jersey. Their first book\, No Offense: A Memoir in Essays\, was published with ELJ Editions in 2025. A former Sundress Academy for the Arts resident and Tin House Workshop graduate\, Jackie’s work has appeared in HuffPost\, The Normal School\, Foglifter Journal\, and elsewhere. \n\nUm\, Gimme a Sec Here: 6 Interview Tips for CNF Writers  (Amy Fish)\nInterviewing can be a challenge for memoirists and narrative nonfiction writers alike. Maybe you have too many questions and aren’t sure where to start. Maybe you are asking questions but aren’t getting the answers you are looking for. Join us for this session where we will discuss six interview techniques that you can put into action immediately\, including: \n\nHow to develop a list of questions that will get you the answers you need\nHow to build rapport with interviewees you’ve never met\nHow to know when to stop the interview\n\nAbout the speaker: Amy Fish is a born storyteller with a tendency to over research. Her latest book\, “One in Six Million” went into a second printing after only 7 weeks. She is a staff book reviewer and interviewer here at Hippocampus Magazine. \n\nMind Your C’s: Contrast\, Conflict and Change (Lillie Gardner)\nBefore you submit\, don’t forget! Contrast\, conflict and change are crucial for keeping our stories compelling for the reader. Contrast helps build memorable characters and surprising moments. Conflict includes clearer stakes and tension\, which brings momentum to the reading experience. And change is what we’re reading for: what happens and why is everything different because of it? In this flash session\, we’ll dive into these essential components of story and identify strategies to strengthen them. Participants will leave with a checklist of questions to use when preparing their work for submission. \nAbout the speaker: Lillie Gardner is a writer of screenplays and prose in Minnesota. As a screenwriter\, she’s been a Winner at Austin Film Festival and Catalyst Festival\, featured in MovieMaker Magazine as a “Screenwriter to Watch\,” and she’s currently a Fellow in the Hollywood Radio & TV Society Foundation Fellowship Program.

SUMMARY:How-To Tuesday: Writing Rage in Enraging Times with Amy Monticello
DESCRIPTION:As writers\, we’re often told that rage can turn a reader off. And yet we live in an angry time. This session focuses on writing rage that enhances the insights of creative nonfiction rather than dilutes them. \nAmy’s talk treats rage as a complex rather than simple emotion—one that has endless iterations. She will analyze works where rage enters the narrative voice\, enhancing its urgency\, transgression\, reclamation\, and humor. \nBrief takeaways: \n\nRage has a bad rap but this is often weaponized against writers (largely women and BIPOC writers)\nRage is like any emotion — it can be used bluntly or with subtlety\nRage can be enormously satisfying and/or freeing to write\nRage provides a heat source that powers other emotions and insights\n\nAttendees will leave this talk armed with rage as a craft tool of precision and candor. \nAbout the series: How-To Tuesdays are monthly talks on the craft of creative nonfiction\, publishing\, marketing and the writing life led by Hippocampus Magazine editors & contributors. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \nAbout the Speaker\nAmy Monticello is the author of Close Quarters\, a chapbook memoir about unconventional divorce (Sweet Publications)\, and the essay collection How to Euthanize a Horse\, which won the 2016 Arcadia Press Chapbook Prize in Nonfiction. \nShe is also co-author\, along with husband Jason Tucker\, of The Routledge Introduction to American Life Writing (2023). Her work has been published in the North American Review\, the Los Angeles Review of Books\, Creative Nonfiction\, Brevity\, under the gum tree\, the Iron Horse Literary Review\, Hotel Amerika\, CALYX\, The Rumpus\, and Assay: A Journal of Nonfiction Studies.

SUMMARY:HippoCamp Minis: CRAFT - 5 CNF Writing Topics in a Flash (2026)
DESCRIPTION:  Registration includes access to the recording for 30 days. \nSome conferences call these fast-paced events lightning round talks. In honor of the short CNF subgenre\, we call them flash sessions! These have always been a popular and fun part of our in-person HippoCamp: A Conference for Creative Nonfiction Writers and\, this year\, we’re once again bringing their magic online. \nIn our Saturday HippoCamp Minis sessions\, you’ll hear from five speakers who will share bite-sized wisdom with practical takeaways on a topic they’re passionate about\, all related to writing creative nonfiction. \nThis is ONE OF FOUR events we’re hosting the weekend of the 15-16th! Read about all of them here. \n\nAbout the Sessions & Speakers\nThis webinar will feature the following five flash sessions: \nDid You Get My (sub)Text? (Wendy Fontaine)\nWhen we write creative nonfiction\, there’s the story we want to tell and then there’s the story beneath the story. That’s where subtext comes in. Subtext is the underlying meaning that gives our writing depth and texture\, the unspoken clues and suggestions that allow our readers to connect the dots. In this flash session\, you will learn to: \n\ncreate layers using word choice\, detail\, and blank space\nstrengthen themes\, connotation\, and nuance\nfind balance between clarity and subtlety\n\n \nAbout the Speaker: Wendy Fontaine is the flash editor at Hippocampus Magazine. Her work has appeared in dozens of literary journals and magazines including Pithead Chapel\, Hippocampus Magazine\, Longridge Review\, Creative Nonfiction’s Sunday Reads\, Sweet Lit and Yemassee. She has received nonfiction prizes from Identity Theory\, Hunger Mountain and Tiferet Journal\, as well as nominations to the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net anthologies. A native New Englander\, she currently resides in southern California with her daughter and husband. \n\nMeasure Twice\, Cut Once: How to Edit Your Pieces Before Submission (Marissa Gallerani)\nEditors are said to have a keen eye\, but what happens when you want to use their skills before you submit your work? \nIn this talk focused on editing for writers\, Hippocampus contributor Marissa Gallerani will share her tips and tricks to polishing your pieces before submission. The session will: \n\nreview the importance of editing and explore how editing can improve a piece\nprovide tangible tips that writers can implement with their own work\ndefine different editing strategies for fiction and non-fiction pieces alike\nshare how to be your own best editor when no one else is around\n\nAttendees will leave feeling more confident about their own editing skills\, and with practical tips to use for their short and longform writing. \nAbout the Speaker: Marissa Gallerani is a queer and disabled writer\, living and working in Providence\, RI. She holds a MFA from the Newport MFA at Salve Regina University\, and has had featured publications in Hippocampus\, Write or Die\, and The Harvard Review Online\, among others. She has taught at Salve Regina University\, the New England Institute of Technology\, Write or Die\, and has courses forthcoming this year with Elegant Literature. \nMarissa writes The Chaotic Reader newsletter on Substack\, where she details the life of a working writer by interviewing authors\, and analyzes literature through the lens of political science. A book club dropout who loves fantasy the most\, she will read anything and knows that reading books and buying books are two separate hobbies. \n\nWriters with ADHD: Throw Away the Rulebook (B.K. Jackson)\nWriting poses numerous challenges for people with ADHD\, and much of the problem stems from trying to follow advice that’s intended for neurotypical people. In this flash session you’ll learn to: \n\nunderstand how conventional wisdom and writing advice can hinder rather than help neurodivergent writers\nwork with your ADHD brain instead of against it\nrecognize the roadblocks ADHD builds and overcome or work around them\nharness those aspects of ADHD that boost creativity\n\n \nAbout the Speaker: B.K. (Kate) Jackson is an author; a developmental editor and certified book coach; and a journalist with bylines in HuffPost\, The Los Angeles Times\, The Sun\, SurvivorLit\, Whale Road Review\, Hippocampus Magazine\, WIRED and more.

Find her at www.bkjacksonwriter.com and creativelyadhd.substack.com. \n\nProps as Prompts: How to Pull Story from Found Objects\, Artifacts\, & Photos (Leslie Lindsay)\nWhen writers hit the wall\, or otherwise burn out\, they may stare at the blinking cursor\, give up\, and walk away. What if you took yourself on a (focused) field trip\, instead? This session is aimed at delving into the physical archives\, items\, and places of your story. Hippocampus Magazine interviewer Leslie Lindsay shares tips from her research in writing a blended memoir about her Kentucky-born great-grandmother\, Cora Bell. These tips\, insights\, and ‘prompts using props\,’ will help you get deeper into your character\, your story\, and allow your intuition to surface. This session will: \n\ncover what to research in person using found objects\, maps\, photographs. (hint: you’ll get into story/character if you leave your desk and go out into the world)\noffer tips on allowing the subconscious to ‘do its thing’\nexplore how certain ‘found objects’ can act as a touchpoint on your writing desk\, and/or show up as a motif in your work\n\nAttendees will leave with ideas to revise existing (or create new!) material or deepen current work\, including historical fiction\, creative nonfiction\, essays\, and poetry. \nAbout the speaker: Leslie A. Lindsay is the author of Speaking of Apraxia: A Parents’ Guide to Childhood Apraxia of Speech.

Nicholson)\nWhat if the skills that make you a better writer could also make medicine more compassionate? Narrative medicine trains healthcare professionals\, patients\, caregivers\, educators\, and others to read and respond to the stories that surround illness and healing\,   often using the very tools you already bring to creative nonfiction. In this session\, Renée K. Nicholson explores where narrative medicine and creative nonfiction meet\, and why that intersection matters. This session will: \n\nintroduce narrative medicine and examine how close reading and reflective writing function as tools for witness and understanding\nexplore how creative nonfiction writers are uniquely positioned to contribute to this growing field\nconsider how narrative medicine’s core questions can deepen and expand your own work on the page\n\nAbout the Speaker: Renée K. Nicholson is a writer working across poetry\, essays\, fiction\, and criticism.

Registration is limited to 20 attendees; we suggest signing up early.   This format is intentionally designed to be live; it will not be recorded.  \n\nAbout the Session\nRemember the joy of finding a handwritten letter in your mailbox? Letters used to be our primary form of communication\, but they’ve fallen out of favor in the technology age. In this hands-on workshop\, we’ll: \n\nexplore the literary power of letter writing in our modern lives\nexamine how authors often used letters to elucidate not only their everyday lives but also to grapple with the complexities of their work\nstudy contemporary authors\, who employ the letter form as a structural device for their stories. We’ll even turn to oral storytelling in podcasts such as This American Life and Letters Live!\nanalyze how writers use the letter form to create intimacy\, reveal historical context as well as personal details\, and provide a container for difficult subjects\n\nIn a supportive\, encouraging environment\, participants will then engage in short\, guided writing exercises designed to draft personal stories in letter form. These could be real letters one would send to a particular recipient\, or they might be autobiographical essays using the letter form as a literary device. \nAbout the speaker: \nBrenda Miller’s most recent book is Love You\, Bye: A Daughter’s Journey in Essays and Poems (Skinner House Books\, 2026). She is the author of six essay collections\, including A Braided Heart: Essays on Writing and Form.

Registration is limited to 20 attendees; we suggest signing up early.   This format is intentionally designed to be live; it will not be recorded.  \n\nAbout the Session\nWe all have obsessions: the subjects\, relationships\, and questions we can’t stop writing toward\, whether we mean to or not. In this generative workshop\, we’ll treat these topics as a renewable resource.

She has been awarded residencies including Sewanee\, Hedgebrook\, and Turning Points. She holds an M.F.A. from Vermont College of Fine Arts\, writes a newsletter on her writing and post-cancer family life\, and lives outside of Philly with her two kids and many pets. \n\n\nTICKET INFO\nYou may register for this event a la carte\, independent of the full HippoCamp Online Weekend.
