Join us for a ten-week writing class focusing on memoir writing led by NSDCGS member Jo Tipton. We hope to have lively discussions about the art and practice of memoir writing.
A memoir does not need to be chronological nor should it read like an autobiography. It centers on an event or theme and is meant to inspire. A memoir contains two key elements: the truth of what happened and its ongoing significance in your life. It illustrates a common experience and leaves the reader to ponder.
The class is designed for the participants to share their writings and to have fun—no critiquing allowed. Although there is a suggested topic for each week, participants may write about anything they choose. By the end of the class, participants will have ten memoir essays.
Please email Mary Millet at memoirs@nsdcgs.org for information about future classes.
