Reading & Writing Memoir
Monthly on Thursdays, beginning May 6
This class continues our exploration of memoir for returning students and as well as those who have completed Elements of Memoir.
We’ll look at how memory is transformed into compelling writing and discuss the writing process and the decisions we make along the way.
We meet once a month and read a booklength memoir to discuss with the group. Aside from the book discussion, the majority of class time is spent workshopping student manuscripts. (After registration is completed, students will receive further instruction on how to prepare for this class.)
Who Should Attend: This course is for writers of all levels who want to tell stories from their own lives. Students should have completed the Elements of Memoir class prior to joining this workshop. For more information, email us at info@storystudiochicago.com for thoughts on getting started.
