Memoir and essay workshops run continuously through the year. Each meets 2.5 hours for six weeks. Small groups (4-7) work together. We read, write, discuss, share, and complete two first-drafts of short pieces to develop and revise. Writing prompts are completed at home, as are readings and short manuscripts.
As the text for our study, we often use the Creative Nonfiction Journal—an excellent venue for short nonfiction essay, memoir and craft instruction. Pictured is the issue we'll use for memoir workshop.
Here is a list of upcoming workshops:
Essay Workshop: Six-week session begins Tuesday, August 30—10 AM to 12:30 PM—$160
Memoir Workshop: Six-week session begins Wednesday, September 21—10 AM to 12:30 PM—$160
Write the Dramatic Monologue: A 2.5 hour craft class with playwright, Nancy Gall-Clayton, on Saturday, October 8—9:30 to noon—$30
