Memoir Writing
Description: This single-session workshop is designed for creative writers in all genres who want to record their personal life stories.
In the workshop, we’ll use creative writing exercises to unearth our significant tales of childhood, transition, adventure, loss, and triumph. We’ll also talk about how these stories can be both inspiration and material for our poems, plays, fiction, and non-fiction.
Description: Open to writers at all levels.
