Writing Your Memoir
Course | Registration opens 2/1/2027 8:00 AM EDT
Many people are natural writers or years-long journalers, but what does it mean to write your memoir for real readers? Through this guided workshop, you will start or continue writing your memoir for an audience. We will practice various techniques in brainstorming, organizing, and creative non-fiction. You will leave this workshop excited to continue writing your memoir for yourself, your family, or publication.
Please bring a laptop or notebook to class.
