Our Memoir Incubator Program is an MFA-level course, spanning 12 months, for ten memoir writers interested in drafting, developing or revising their memoir drafts, a comprehensive craft-based study of the memoir form, and, as appropriate, a thoughtful introduction to the memoir publishing market. 

The murder of eight people, including six women of Asian descent, on Tuesday night in Atlanta was a horrific and heartbreaking tragedy that comes at a time of increased racist and gender-based violence, hate, and anti-Asian rhetoric across the country. 

We want to acknowledge the pain of this tragic event and the ways in which this violence further adds to the suffering, anxiety, and anger that the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community across the country has felt in response to increased xenophobia, misogyny, and racism.
