A Year of Memoir

Writing memoir requires truth and untamed emotion. We must dig deep, excavate. Find the words that express what we’ve kept inside for so long that it feels as if it’s part of our body, velcroed to our very soul.

The impulse to write about your life, to share what you’ve learned through sorrow and triumph, is powerful and filled with purpose. Yet memoir writing requires careful crafting, a special alchemy to turn diary entries into literature.

But how? What elevates everyday experiences into a coherent story? And in a lifetime of endless moments and memories, where do you choose to begin?

Ah…that’s the pivot point.

Find the right key, and the door will swing open.

This class, which I will facilitate, will walk with you through an entire year, helping you shape—and finish—a memoir with craft and intention so it works for the reader as well as for you.
