Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I will develop and use skills to incorporate research (personal history in a wider cultural context) into a manuscript ready to send to agents. Success will be achieved when I have completed a research-based writing class, incorporated research (personal history in the wider cultural context of women sailors) into at least 14 chapters, and realized the theme of navigation in all 27 chapters. 2: I will conduct writing workshops with under-resourced girls and host a reading of feminist Minnesota writers. Success will be achieved when I have moderated one reading and panel discussion with feminist Minnesota authors, and conducted three free, two-hour writing workshops to under-resourced girls.
