Writing a Memoir From Your Life

A memoir is a story, a narrative from the writer’s life that focuses on an experience, a time frame, an episode, a lesson, a discovery.  Writing a memoir is writing the words that reveal a part of you—a part that can help someone else.  The class will cover:  Understanding the memoir, study and discussion of examples,  choosing the focus /event / story for your memoir, what is your goal with this work, organization of chronology and location, structure and tense in telling the story, dialog—recreating and keeping it honest,  tough choices—what to put in and what to leave out, and completing a rough draft.  Instructor:  Karon  Phillips
