The One-Sentence Memoir (ZOOM)
All Levels | Dive into the murky waters of your life and emerge holding one glistening sentence. In this workshop, we’ll work on getting to the nut of the story of your life — or one of the stories of your life — in order to capture its complexities, conundrums, and paradoxes in a single sentence. Done well, this kind of work is invaluable for book proposals, personal essays, and memoirs.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online until further notice. If there's a possibility that your class might take place in person, you will be notified in advance. Even if classes can be held in person, there will always be a hybrid option to participate via Zoom.
Classes with "Zoom" in the title will be held via Zoom even after our doors open. Classes listed as "Online" will be held on Wet Ink, our platform for asynchronous learning.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
