Course Summary
In this two hour class you’ll get specific genre tips and solutions for the common stuck places for memoir writers: how to write past the fear of exposure, how to find the right structure, how to create narrative movement, how to lead by example in the telling of your story…and a lot more.
The class is divided into four parts:
Part #1
Voice: No one has your voice. No one. It’s not possible. I’ll guide you through a list of questions to pose to yourself and help you put your finger on the pulse of: Who is telling this story. And why.
Part #2
Structure: Structure is usually the most difficult part of writing a memoir. We’ll explore four structures that work best in creating a memoir.
Part #3 Q&A:
This is when I answer the most common questions that might not have been covered in the other Parts. For example: the #1 question I get, outside of structure, is: “How do you handle keeping other people anonymous in a memoir?
Part #4:
You’ll get two writing prompts that you can do during the class or at home. One will be on the personal essay, and the other will be on a memoir.
I hope that you will enjoy this class and join me on a Haven Writing Retreat in Montana or over on my online community, Haven Nest. Enrollment opens every six months.
Note: This class was originally led at the Pacific Northwest Writer’s Association annual event. Enjoy!
