We all have a true story – or perhaps many - to tell. Sometimes we need a map and a gentle guide to get them onto the page. Wherever you are in the writing process, this workshop will enrich key storytelling skills and enhance your pleasure with writing. We will explore published memoirs, essays, and your own work to clarify essential techniques of reflection, dialogue, scene, chronology, revision and publication. Each participant will also receive a private coaching session outside of class time on work in progress, if desired.
