Writing Our Lives
How do we begin to make art out of our lives? How do we examine memory and organize the pieces to tell a compelling story? Explore the ways we can shape our lives in words through this creative nonfiction class. Whether you are interested in writing short essays about your life or an entire memoir, this class will help you to find your way to a narrative through class prompts, readings, mini lectures, and regular workshopping/discussion of each other's writing.
