WRITE FOR YOUR LIFE
Workshop Outline:
During the last decade, writers have rediscovered the magic in memoirs using a tremendous variety of styles – poetry, fictionalization, or truth-speaking – personal history as art, and sometimes as a healing journey. Writers everywhere are using key life moments in telling their stories. Students will find readings and learning exercises both challenging and humorous, whether writing autobiography for the public record, writing non-fiction for money, fiction, poetry, or an illustrated family heirloom.
