Memoir

#workshop

Many people are writing memoirs these days. How, exactly, does a memoir differ from an autobiography? Or “based on a true story” fiction?

This workshop explores these topics, then delves deep into the art of the memoir. Depending upon the amount of time available, we’ll discuss:

  • Where to start;
  • How to focus;
  • When to end;
  • How to tighten your prose;
  • How to bring your story to life;
  • How to find a market for your work.

Like our other workshops, this can be a lecture-only or a lecture and exercise workshop. We do reserve plenty of time at the end of the workshop for questions, and the presenter will be available afterwards for additional questions and consultations.
