Memoirs and personal narratives are stories, told from the perspectives of the authors, about important parts of their lives. This course explores the vast, rewarding potential of these expressive storytelling forms through reading, writing, podcast, and film.
Together, we will discover different approaches to creating, sharing, and publishing memoir and personal narratives with guidance from experienced instructors, accomplished writers, and even a publisher.
We will immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of short personal narratives from across cultures and generations to inspire our own storytelling. We will uncover possibilities for crafting and publishing personal narratives, whether it be through the written word, spoken expression, or visual storytelling.
Everyone who completes the course will create at least one memoir piece, regardless of whether you think you have a story to tell, and even if you think you "don't know how to write."
