Autofiction Weekend Intensive

June 10th - June 11th Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 am – 1:00 pm (two sessions)

$205

During this weekend autofiction intensive, we will take a deep dive into the unique art of autofiction. Autofiction combines the disciplines of autobiography and fiction. It can be written like memoir or like fiction, but it generally comes down to style: autofiction is often highly introspective and mainly focuses on interior life.

For this course, we will focus on women writers of autofiction, such as: Lucia Berlin, Zinzi Clemmons, Annie Erneaux, Tove Ditlevsen, Marguerite Duras, Carmen Maria Machado, Sigrid Nunez, and Yuko Tsushima.

This class is for all levels of writers and readers.

Access Program
We want our writing classes and Delves to be accessible to everyone, regardless of income and background. We understand that our tuition structure can present obstacles for some people. Our Access Program offers writing class and Delve tuitions at a reduced rate. The access program for writing classes covers 60% of the class tuition. Most writing classes have at least one access spot available.

Please apply here for access rate tuition. Contact Susan Moore at susan@literary-arts.org if you have questions.

Liaison position
Every in-person class and seminar at Literary Arts has one liaison position. Liaisons perform specific duties for each class meeting. If you are a liaison for a class or seminar, the full amount of your tuition is covered by Literary Arts.
