Come out for a 2-hour mini creative nonfiction/memoir workshop to launch our workshop series in 2020. Learn the craft of memoir which is one of the most popular literary genres today. This workshop will focus on a close analysis of the memoir as an art form and an appealing genre over the last few decades, and a series of writing exercises and the opportunity to share your work. This workshop will be taught by Tracey Levine.
