This course has a very clear mission: to get you started on your memoir. Through a series of targeted writing exercises, we will explore the terrain of memoir writing: mining for material, constructing scenes, structuring narratives, and honing your voice. In addition, we will review excerpts of powerful memoirs and learn how to apply similar methods to our own works. As this is a generative class, there will be no formal workshopping of student work, though there may be on-the-spot feedback of in-class writing. The class will offer a supportive and productive atmosphere for writers of every experience level.
