In this series of six free-standing workshops, we’ll look at writing the memoir from six different perspectives. Our inquiries will explore uncovering theme and sculpting a structure; we’ll look at different techniques access and write memories, teasing out why they are important and which matter to your story. In another session we’ll practice capturing and expanding small moments that carry deep meaning; and in another, delve into how to transit time through flashback, memory, and scene. Our explorations will review the effective use of voice moving from then to now and back again, and finally, we’ll consider various techniques of fiction writing that can bring our story alive. Participants can sign up for the entire series, select several workshops, or take any single course. The series of lectures will take place online via Zoom on Mondays from May 2 through June 20. Workshops include: • Monday, May 2 – Theme and Structure in Memoir • Monday, May 9 – Speak, Memory • Monday, May 16 – From Moments to Memoir • Monday, June 6 – I Then, I Now: Voices in Memoir • Monday, June 13 – Time in Memoir: A Chronology of Its Own • Monday, June 20 – Fiction Techniques in Memoir Register here!
