A colorful past isn't a requirement for writing a memoir. Using your "writer's eye" to observe details will bring your experience to life on the page.
This is a five-week memoir workshop series with hands-on exercises and examples from literature to stimulate lively writing. Instructor Susannah Risely is a published author and has experience facilitating workshops to diverse groups.
Registration is required and participants must commit to all five sessions (April 26, May 3, May 10, May 17, & May 24)
