Writing Your Memoir - Part 1
Have you ever thought about writing a true short story about a moment in your life? In this six-week, sequential course for adult students of all levels, you will mine your memories for storytelling gold, and you will be able to identify and apply the fundamental craft elements of this type of creative nonfiction.
By the end of this course, you will complete a draft of a short nonfiction narrative and an outline for a book. In each session, you will be presented with information about a specific craft element of memoir and related writing prompts and passages from a diverse selection of narrative nonfiction for inspiration. Part 2 of this course will be available in winter 2025.
Students should bring a laptop, or a notebook and pen or pencil.
For cost and registration, please visit Delaware Art Museum. To read about the instructor, visit CassLewis.com.
The class meets on Thursdays, October 3 - November 14, 2024 (no class on Halloween), from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm.
