Course Description

IN PERSON: This course is designed to guide participants through the process of initiating their memoir-writing journey. Memoirs are powerful tools for self-expression, reflection and storytelling.

The learning in this course happens through writing practice and in-class discussion. Students should be prepared to write during every class session and should prioritize time between sessions to complete the reading and writing assignments. By the end of the course, participants will have gained a deeper understanding of memoir writing as a genre, developed their writing skills and created a strong foundation for their personal memoir projects. They will leave the course with newfound confidence in their ability to tell their own stories and continue refining their work beyond the classroom. | Lecture + Q&A, Facilitated discussion.
