My Version of Events: Introduction to Memoir with Sheree L. Greer

About This Class

Writing memoir is an invitation to transform our lived experiences into art, into story, and the way forward is often challenging because of the natural fallibility of our memories and the loudness of our creative self-doubt. In this interactive, generative, single session workshop, we’ll explore ways to retool our memories as writing prompts, set a foundation to see ourselves as the protagonists of our own lives, and lean more fully into the craft of storytelling that drives compelling memoir. We will read and discuss memoir excerpts, generate new work, and share reflections and process insight from our writing time together.
