Writing from life can be a tricky business. There are people to protect, faulty memories of events, and the pitfalls of self-censorship. In this workshop, we will employ techniques of poetry and fiction to create works of Memoir and Autobiographical Fiction. Through original writing exercises, we will learn literary techniques including character, dialogue, setting and story arc. In our writing, we will draw upon both the truths and lies of our experience because our lives are too rich not to write about and our imaginations too strong to ignore. 

This is generative class. All levels of writers are welcome. This workshop is open to BIPOC writers only.

Tuition for the course is $500-550. Pay what you can in that window. Payment plans also possible.

Five Monday Nights on Zoom from 7-9 PM EST: June 1, June 8 (skip June 15), June 22, June 29, July 6
