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: Tuesday nights, Sept.30-October 28, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Classes on Sept.30, Oct.7, 14, 21 and 28. 

The class is recorded so if you miss one, you can catch up later.
