Agents often share that what makes a memoir stand out in the marketplace is a strong author’s voice. In this workshop we will uncover the soul of the writing with fun and interactive voice techniques to make the storytelling as dynamic as possible. Students will also learn how to craft smooth transitions as well as how to enter and exit a chapter or scene. Participants will gain a better understanding how to create a seamless text that takes the reader between past memories (flashbacks) and present-day experiences and observations. We will work on bringing the theme of the piece to life so that the manuscript will resonate with universal meaning. Symbolism will also be explored as a way to deepen the writing and flesh out the theme of your book. Class structure: Except for the first class, the first hour will be lecture and the second hour will be read and critique where participants can workshop their material or class assignments. Tone of class: We strive to create a supportive, nurturing environment where participants feel encouraged to share, risk and connect to their most creative self.

Alzheimer’s–It’s one of the most serious health crises we face. At Sanford Burnham Prebys, our researchers are dedicated to uncovering the biological mechanisms of aging and how they contribute to the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. By advancing our understanding of these complex processes, we aim to open new doors for prevention and treatment. To share these critical insights, we are hosting a special panel conversation on Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease for the San Diego community. This event will explore the latest research on the link between aging and Alzheimer’s, highlighting an ongoing research collaboration. We’ll discuss how our cutting-edge discoveries—guided by clinical practice—are shaping the future of Alzheimer’s research and how patients may ultimately benefit from these advancements. Join us for an informative evening exploring the connection between aging and Alzheimer’s disease. The event will feature a panel discussion with experts in the field, followed by an audience Q&A and a reception. We’re also pleased to welcome Muffy Walker, who will share a brief overview of her book, with a book signing to follow.
