Are you looking for ways to transform your memories onto the page? Memory is an evocative thing, and in some cases, a ceaseless tyrant. The personal essay is a powerful way to explore these ideas more deeply to create a compelling narrative. In this workshop, we’ll learn and apply techniques for writing memory as personal essay, including how to “unpack” transformative moments about a person, place, or thing. We’ll also experiment with voice and point of view. By the workshop’s end, you’ll leave with at least three drafts to get you started, as well as tips for how to keep writing—and revising. This workshop is geared toward all, from the beginning writer who has “all these great ideas” in their head, to the writer who needs a jumpstart to keep going.
