This four-week generative workshop will explore the art and craft of memoir. Those with a manuscript underway and those just beginning and wanting to deepen your commitment to your writing are all welcome. We’ll focus on writing drafts and revisions of your memoir in the workshop and in between our meetings. I’ll send you excerpts from a couple of my favorite memoirs in mid-January and we’ll talk about what you can glean for your own work. I’ll offer feedback to your drafts if you’d like. The workshop will address questions of voice, veracity, and structure and help you identify the heart of your story – the pulse and urgency that make us want to write. This workshop aims to create a safe, supportive atmosphere that fosters a community of writers on the Olympic Peninsula and beyond.
