Many know the often overused creative writing adage of Show, don’t tell. Memoir writing, however, requires both. In this workshop, we will look at different types of telling and how they open doors to the multitudes of possibility beyond the moment.

When is this class offered?

This one-session class is offered live, on Zoom, Thursday, April 14, 2022 from 7-9 p.m. EST. It is open to writers of all levels.
