Are you struggling to tell your personal story in a dramatic and entertaining way, or understand what the book-worthy story really is? Infusing your real-life experiences with fiction can free you to explore all of the storytelling possibilities. We'll focus on creating a container for your story and a character arc for your narrator with lots of scene-building exercises. You'll walk away with a better understanding of how to marry memoir and fiction throughout your book.
