Methods of Memoir: Turn Life into Fiction

This is a workshop based, lab style writing class where you learn how to hone your lived experience into a well told story.  Since we are culling our teaching from literature, fiction writers are welcome and will learn as much about craft as the memoir writer.  You will be reading your work out loud, creating new work from prompts, and studying essay's, short stories, movies (for structure).  I'll also be incorporating great advice from other writers including Debra Qwartney, Bernard Cooper, Jane Smiley, Robert McKee and Stephen King. 

This is a terrific class for the writer who has had some experience with their craft and needs a community, as well as mentorship.  You will leave class inspired and energized. 

NOTE:  Former students of The Bones of Storytelling and AM Craft Class will be very happy here as well.

Starts March 30, 2015 @ 5:30-8:30 p.m.  Assignments will be made once class registration is finished.
