This is the first in a series of memoir workshops. All meeting on Sunday mornings from 9 am to noon.

June 30 Framing Your Memoir - How do you give others a reason to read your story? We’ll discuss techniques to establish purpose and evoke readers’ curiosity.

July 14 The Past Comes Back - We’ll look at writing samples showing how things we don’t remember or never lived through can shape (or haunt) our lives and the stories we tell about our lives.

July 28 Is That You or Me? We’ll look at writing that exists somewhere between memoir and fiction, and discuss the reasons to use this approach (e.g. to protect people we love)

August 11 Dear You -We'll study writing samples that use the form of a letter to enter into a memoir, and discuss how this approach affects the telling of our stories.

Please note: Full refund up to 7 days before the workshop. Fifty percent refund in the last week.
