Memoir Writing  - Memoir writing is the process of adapting your true-life experiences into a compelling narrative. This class provides the tools needed to develop and strengthen the writing process, exploring how to structure stories, bring them to life with vivid detail, and enhance overall writing. Through prompts, supportive round-table discussions, and constructive critique, writers learn how to build their personal stories into a creative whole.

Where Do I Begin?  - This workshop is for anyone who longs to write but doesn't know where to start, or for writers who have dabbled but lost their way. It helps participants find their way by first releasing the writer within through creative prompts to get the words flowing. The class then moves into discovering the elements of all good stories, including character, conflict, action, and setting, providing a strong foundation for new writers.
