Focusing on lively short forms, a panel of accomplished writers and educators will present fresh approaches to memoir-writing. By using writing techniques from different genres, memoirists can find new energy, inspiration, and a practical vision to complete their projects. Learn to plot your memoir to hook your readers, and discover how the unusual lenses of poetry reveal truths overlooked by ordinary prose. Many writers wonder how they can complete a lengthy, complex manuscript. The answer is to write it as a series of flashes. Join writers
Lita Kurth,
Amanda Williamsen, and
Keiko O’Leary as they offer craft tips, suggested texts, and community connections to help you work more creatively and maintain momentum.
