SUMMARY:Writing From Memory
DESCRIPTION:Unlock distant memories and describe them using all five senses.\nMemory is rarely objective truth\, but it tells an important story that affects our identities and the legacy we pass down through generations. Work with an award-winning memoirist to understand different types of memory and how life stories are built from them. Examine examples of memoir to learn ways to translate memory fragments into a narrative on the page. Then participate in exercises to unlock distant memories and describe them using all five senses. Participants will come away with the beginning of a new piece and the tools to continue to write from memory. \n\nLive video conference: This workshop will be held via our online video conferencing platform\, Zoom. You can view brief tutorials on using the platform here.

SUMMARY:Using the Tools of Fiction in Nonfiction
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are crafting an essay or writing a memoir\, the tools of fiction can bring depth and suspense to your work. Each week this class will focus on one tool of fiction\, reading both classic and contemporary examples of nonfiction pieces that utilize them\, and using generative exercises to practice them. There will be the opportunity to submit your work and receive feedback. Participants will leave with the confidence to bring characterization\, dialogue\, metaphor\, and counterfactuality to their nonfiction. Writers should come with a piece they are working on or want to start.
