Class Description
Are you writing a memoir and need a weekly deadline to keep you on track? This six-week online memoir workshop is open to memoirists at all draft stages and of all experience levels. The main goal of the course is simply to generate new memoir material or revamp dull scenes. Each week, students will read model memoir chapters for inspiration, complete weekly writing assignments, and will engage in craft talks and writing prompts. Each student will also get the opportunity to have one polished memoir excerpt workshopped by the class and instructor. Students will leave the class with six new memoir scenes.
