Explore the modern and popular craft of memoir writing. Every person has a story to tell. No matter your age, education, family, or location, your life is filled with tales big and small.
Through workshopping and class critiques, students will explore how to shape their memories into cohesive and compelling narratives. Topics will include character development, setting a scene, authentic dialogue, building your story arc, and compelling opening sentences.
Responding to weekly prompts, participants will share short writing assignments each class.
Tuition for this class includes a fee of $10 for photocopying memoirs.
