Learn ten generative lessons to help you imagine your memoir or provide needed structure for your memoir-in-progress.
Join us for a burst of ten generative lessons to help you imagine your memoir or provide needed structure to your book-in-progress. Each class will focus on a different element of writing your memoir and provide time for writing. You’ll leave this class with meaningful, completed scenes, and more—an understanding of how you might best arrange and connect them. At the conclusion of the course, all students will receive written feedback on up to ten pages of their writing and their sample book plan.
Live video conference: This workshop will be held via our online video conferencing platform, Zoom. You can view brief tutorials on using the platform here. On the start date or the day before, participants will receive an email with login info (please check your spam if you don’t see it).
In this workshop you’ll learn:
- Class 1: Memories Log
- Class 2: Bucket Lists
- Class 3: Silver River
- Class 4: Foundations
- Class 5: Discontent
- Class 6: Times I Was Changed
- Class 7: See, I Have Been Changed!
- Class 8: Where Do I (And the Reader) Go From Here?
- Class 9: Patchwork, River, Story
- Class 10: Connections, literal and thematic
Time requirements
- This is a generative class, so no work outside of the course is required — but you’ll probably be on fire to write on your own!
Materials
- All reading materials will be provided.
Who should take this workshop?
- This would be a great class for writers who have always wanted to explore writing a memoir but haven’t known where to start. It would also be helpful to writers who are seeking structure.
If you need an accommodation for this workshop, please contact us at access@writer.org. We will attempt to fulfill all requests, but advance notice is necessary to arrange for some accessibility services.
