Writing Memoir
There is a world of difference between memoir and autobiography. Memoir is a story from a life; autobiography is a story of a life (usually written by someone famous who readers want to get to know). We will focus on writing craft unique to memoir: showing & telling, a memoir’s “argument,” the issues of time in memoir, and using the sensory palette. Memoirs can be a curated selection of snapshot essays, or perhaps something much longer. Writing is “living twice” and the time you invest will always be a fulfilling journey of discovery.
