Spring 2020 Online: Advanced Memoir
May 10, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
$275For dedicated writers with previous workshop experience
If the primary purpose of literature is to connect us with humanity, what better way to accomplish that goal than through telling our experiences and how they formed us. And yet, telling our stories is both a challenge and a gift. This workshop is for participants deep into writing their memoir. We will spend our time discussing one another’s work, looking at tools and practices of the form, reading some sample memoir sections, and helping to boost writing stamina as you strive toward a finished draft.
Previous students say:
