Writing Your Life Story

Some people simply want to write their life stories to leave a legacy for their children; others are concerned about self-expression; still others would like to publish a memoir or autobiography. In this workshop, we first discuss the purpose for writing, and then identify the best vehicle for that purpose.

This workshop covers the four formats to life writing: memoir, essay, autobiography, and creative nonfiction. Learn to cultivate the stories of your life and assemble them in a proper format, as well as how to appropriate fictional techniques such as plot, theme, dialogue, character, setting, and tone to your stories.
