The Art of the Memoir - THURSDAY Morristown

In this craft-based workshop, you will turn the stories of your life into essays and memoir. We’ll review the fundamentals of creative writing, search for structure and meaning, and share our work in productive round-table sessions. Using targeted exercises, you will brainstorm for material, create compelling characters from life, write dialogue, scenes of action and description, and gain an understanding of plot. We will foster an atmosphere of trust and encouragement through gentle critique. The goal is generating polished writing that has integrity, honesty, and emotional impact.
