The Art of Micro Memoir & Storytelling: Tell Me The Secret Story Only You Can Tell (an online workshop)

Saturday, March 1 – Sunday, March 2, 2025

This weekend retreat is for writers of all levels who want to grow or learn to write micro-memoirs AND tell a story with stunning concision. Spend a generative, creative weekend studying and writing the passionate and crucial story beats of your memoir or life story.

Micro-memoir is a short-form genre, a cousin to flash. The micro-memoir genre captures a story in the flash of an eye, a litany, a scene, or a summary. Micro-memoir offers writers a one-page frame to tell the inciting incident, spark tension, truth, and a whole world.

The benefit of the course is that you will learn both the craft of micro-memoir and story-telling structure. The weekend workshop will include the craft of writing closely observed moments, and learning story structure to string the micro-memoirs together to tell a larger story. Learn to write and voice the most captivating changes in your (the protagonist’s) life.
