LifeWriting 1-night
Thursday, October 1
Writing from our lives often forms the basis for stories—all kinds of stories.
Whether your interests lay in personal essay, memoir, journal writing or even fiction, LifeWriting will help you tap into memories and ideas for you to mold into the stories you want to tell.
We’ll read published pieces and participate in some in-class exercises. Most of all, we’ll begin the process of finding some of the best material—taking stories and experiences directly from our lives.
This one night class serves as a great introduction to the six week LifeWriting class, beginning October 5.
Who Should Attend: This course is for writers of all levels. Students need not have any prepared pieces before class begins.
