A 5-Week Memoir Workshop
Thursdays: October 23 – November 20, 7-9 PM
This course is for anyone actively writing or considering writing their memoir. Each meeting will provide 2-3 fresh writing prompts for chapters/scenes, resulting in 15 or so new ideas for students by the end of the course. Students will make meaning of their memories related to family, food, culture, identity, place, and time. They will also read and discuss excerpts from contemporary memoirs to inspire their writing projects.
