Join us for a nine-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 nine memoir essays.

Classes are offered as a series and will be held in the Georgina Cole Library Community Room on the following Thursdays:

May 21, 28

June 4, 18, 25

July 2, 16, 23, 30
