Advanced Memoir

January 12, 2026 - February 23, 2026 (no meeting February 16) Mondays, 6:00-8:00 p.m. (six sessions),

$340

Designed for writers who have an idea for a memoir in progress and are hoping to focus on character development, narrative energy and structure. In this six-week intensive, participants will generate 10-15 pages of additional material with a keen eye on the narrative bubbling beneath the surface. Several in-class prompts will offer deeper understanding and further refinement of the developing pages. The class will also read and analyze a contemporary memoir of their choice.
