LifeWriting
Wednesdays beginning June 16
Description: Tap into your creativity with autobiographical writing.
Whether your interests lie in personal essay, memoir, journal writing or even fiction, will help you take your memories and mold them into memoirs, autobiographical stories, poetry, or even the basis for new fiction.
We’ll read published pieces and do plenty of in-class writing. You will be encouraged to work on one or two pieces during the course to be workshopped and revised. Most of all, we’ll begin the process of finding some of the best material—taking stories and experiences directly from our lives.
Who Should Attend: This course is for writers of all levels, especially those who want to tell stories from their own lives. Students need not have any prepared pieces before class begins.
