This ten-week course is aimed at writers who are currently working on a draft of a book-length memoir or narrative essay collection. During class sessions, we will discuss key areas of developing a powerful book: finding one's theme or throughline; balancing showing vs. telling and situation vs. story; building powerful scenes; creating structure to keep your reader turning pages, and more. In addition, each student will have at least two opportunities to share 6-page excerpts of their work during in-class workshops.
This class takes place online via Zoom. Register to receive the zoom link and class instructions.
