Do you have a memoir in the works but you’re struggling with structure? Or perhaps you’re simply curious about form within memoir, and looking for new approaches to structure, both for your collection as a whole and for specific sections? Creative non-fiction and memoir writing has shifted dramatically over the last decade and the possibilities are endless! This course is designed to help you structure a larger work-in-progress through workshopping and writing exercises, and introduce you to a variety of diverse and unconventional structures found in full-length memoirs.
This class takes place online using Zoom.
