Memoir Writing Class

Telling Your Story

We all have a story to tell about our lives.  In my Telling Your Story class, you’ll learn the basic skills of writing about your life, including:

  • the mechanics of writing effectively
  • focusing on personal, honest stories
  • how to improve your sense of recall
  • writing short articles in class
  • reviewing articles by other writers

Classes are limited to 8 students, and are held on Zoom. No previous writing experience required. And there’s no expectation that you’ll write a book-length memoir !

Next Class: January 2025, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Night to be announced later. 
Course fee:  $175    Early Bird Discount:  Register by December 15 for $150
