Write Your Memoir
All Levels | Is it time to tell your story, but you’re not sure how to begin? Are you deep in a draft but hitting a wall? Feeling unsure about structure? This class combines nuts-and-bolts instruction about the elements of great memoir with weekly writing prompts, troubleshooting, sharing, and discussion. Topics will include: crafting a voice, problems with dialogue, balancing exposition and scenic action, fact-checking and ethics, and much more.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through Winter quarter 2021.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
