How do successful writers shape their memoirs in ways that draw the interest of people who are busy with their own personal stories? In this workshop, we’ll discuss ways to establish purpose and evoke readers’ curiosity. We’ll start by doing close readings of various excerpts from published authors to elicit strategies that you can apply to your own writing. Then, in-class exercises will give you a chance to apply what you’ve learned to your own work.

No previous experience required. Open to all who like reading and want to learn more about the craft of writing.
