Memoir writing workshop (WRT 01(z))

  • Day and time: Thursday 10:00 - 11:30
    Weekly
  • Length of course: 1 term. Autumn (11 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 15
  • Start date: 03 October 2024
  • Description:

    Memoirs are the way we understand and make sense of the world we find ourselves in. There's no right way to tell your stories, but there are helpful ways to structure them, discover the non-sequential connections and capture them as a narrative that is worth telling. In this workshop we will discuss some basic concepts of memoir writing such as timelines, memory and truth, point of view, character, voice and dialogue. You will need to have access to a word processor in order to save and send weekly assignments and, most importantly, to set aside ca 3-4 hours/week to read and write. Note: There will be an introductory session held in-person on Thursday 3 October U3AC, Red room.
