Our lives are filled with moments, large and small, from which we emerge a different person. The memoir is made up of such moments, one revealed and then another, as the memoirist seeks answers. In this workshop, we’ll embark on expeditions to discover, uncover, and recover those moments of change in our lives. Our next step will be to explore those moments, looking for connections and links that, when woven into a memoir, tell a story both personal and universal. The workshop will include capturing these moments and memories through brief free-write exercises. 

No experience is required to participate and all writers are welcome.
