$395 for personal check or  Venmo – “write” 

Spring Session II: April 24, May 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 7-9 pm EST (6 weeks)

Do you want to write a personal story, memoir, or micro-memoir?

Are you looking for a nurturing space to learn or practice the craft of writing and storytelling? 

This memoir writing workshop and community will help capture, organize, and distill the shimmering details of your story while enhancing your writing.

The biggest challenge with writing? The process is often mysterious and confusing.

But if you want to live up to something inside that says “Write!” you must.

In this course, you will receive the following:

• writing skills
• story-telling
• a creative process that works for you
• 3 or 4 new writing pieces that you love

We will study examples of personal essays, micro-memoirs, memoirs, and the essentials of storytelling. 

How do we craft a story vs. write a stream of consciousness?

Where to begin and end a story? How do we structure something we’ve told a million times?

Receive:

• writing & storytelling tools
• ways to access themes that matter most to you
• acknowledge your voice & style
• editorial and revision support
• structures to organize your writing

What participants appreciate most:

• 1:1 writing coaching & feedback 
• constructive editorial feedback in class on 2 pages of work
• the warmth and encouragement of the community
• readings 
• playback recordings
• weekly Q&A
• option for 50-minute one-on-one at a substantial discount*
