Writing Your Life: Mapping a Memoir Level: All Instructor: Emily Rapp “The memoirist is confronted with many questions: How do I shape my memories and particular journey into a story with universal significance? How do I write about myself as a character? If all memory is an interpretation, then how much responsibility does the writer of memoir have to the factual truth? During our time together, we will explore both the craft and ethics of memoir through in-class writing exercises, reading, and lively discussion. The primary goal of this workshop is to help you generate material from your personal experiences while examining the possibilities and pitfalls of memoir as a form, while also giving careful thought to structure and architecture. All reading material will be provided in class.” Date: Saturday, Oct. 20, 10am-3pm (1-hour lunch) Limit: 15 Participants Registration Deadline: Wednesday, Oct. 17 CPE Credits: 4 Language Arts Fee: $100 Discounted Fee: $90
