Memoir Writing Workshop April 15, 2009

A memoir is a story that focuses on the meaning and intensity of a singular relationship in the author’s life-unresolved feelings for a parent, a child, a sibling, a friend; coming to terms with a loss, an illness, a death; remembering a significant phase like childhood or adolescence or a period like college in which the writer was challenged or changed.

Join Thomas Larson, author of The Memoir and the Memoirist: Reading and Writing Personal Narrative (Swallow Press), for a two-hour workshop in memoir writing. We’ll discuss the significant differences between traditional autobiography and contemporary memoir.
