Memoir Writing
Week 1 | M, Tu, W, Th | Alumni Hall Poetry Room | Ages 30+
A memoir is your opportunity to describe your journey through life so far, but many writers who begin a memoir do not follow through to complete it. This seminar includes strategies for planning the writing of a memoir, a full description of key features of the genre, sessions of writing and workshop feedback, methods for achieving progress, and information about the variety of avenues for publication. Writers are encouraged through instruction and workshop feedback to sustain focus and pursue completion of the writer's plan.
