Memoir Writing Online Workshop
Oct 11, 2023 - Nov 15, 2023
This
course combines the wisdom of yoga with the craft of writing to
teach aspiring writers how to tell their story with integrity,
compassion and insight. Join a small collective of writers
committed to learning, growing and developing their skills in
6-week online sessions that meet through zoom. Students submit up
to 7 double spaced pages of their work ahead of time which are
shared with the group, then everyone attends the weekly zoom class
for a comprehensive critique session that not only helps each
student develop their personal works in progress, but include
lectures on the prevailing issues for the group, such as defining
style, voice, writing with honesty, and character/story
development. Assignments designed to fire-up creativity and
challenge the writers to experiment with new approaches to telling
a story are provided at the end of each session as inspiration for
the following week's submissions.
Learning in a progressive critique group with effective
mentorship can be deeply insightful, because sometimes we are too
close to our own work to see the issues that need to be addressed,
but those same issues are clearly evident when we review the work
of others. These workshops teach us to “read like a writer”, see
and adjust weaknesses in a story, and help attendees develop
writing skills through respectful, honest feedback given in the
spirit of support and furthering your writing
education.
The
online course includes six live zoom sessions (2-3 hours each) with
progressive assignments, support, and an invitation to participate
in the Facebook group for inspiration and connection.
