Tell Me the Story of Your Life: A Memoir Writing Course

Thinking about writing a memoir?

Let this class move you from thinking about writing to actually getting started. Whether you are at the idea stage or have a few chapters underway, this course will help define your origin story and grow the arc of the narrative from there.

We will explore personal essays and micro-memoirs as well as ethical issues and the nature of truth in reconstructing events and characterization. By the end of the course, you will have five to ten pages of a pivotal moment from your story.

Classes meet every Monday for six weeks, beginning Feb. 16, 2026.

Mondays, Feb. 16-March 23, 2026, 6:30 – 8:00 P.M.
