Our memories are thick with the stuff that makes good stories, fictional or “true.” Whether you’re writing a memoir or a personal narrative essay, or just thinking of starting one, or if you just want to experience the sometimes surprising, occasionally painful, often joyful exploration of writing your memories, this workshop will lead you into your own rich storehouse of material. Fiction writers can use the memory excavations for transplanting into novels or short stories.

In this series of monthly workshops, we’ll explore the many and varied aspects of creative writing from the writer’s voice (what is it, how do you find it, and what do you do with it once you’ve discovered it?) to elements of style (sentences and other structures, telling details, show and tell), to questions of craft (plot vs. character, description vs. action, narrative strategies) and other literary nooks and crannies. Each workshop will include examples from noted writers, in-class exercises, lively dialogue exchanges and an opportunity to work with other writers in a supportive, friendly community.
