Writing Your Memoir

 

WRIT1-CE9712 / $580
SPRING 2012
Continuing Education: Writing and Speech

At the heart of memoir writing is the idea that each of us has an individual, meaningful story that we can tell effectively through a process that involves remembering, reimagining, and recording the past. In this course, students work on developing a style that yields an authentic voice, thereby elevating personal experience into compelling prose. Learn how to bring focus and clarity to a memoir through writing exercises, analysis of published memoirs, and guidance along with discussions of plot, structure, characterization, description, dialogue, and point-of-view.
