About the Offering

ASYNCHRONOUS

Even though David Byrne urges us to “stop making sense,” in non fiction and memoir writing we must start making sense: of the events, triumphs, catastrophes, and history of our lives. In this workshop, you are invited to share your stories with an eye toward honing, excavating, and discovering the story within the story. So many writers become overwhelmed with writing their stories. Where to begin? What to include? What to leave out? How do I tell this important story? These are the questions we will ask and answer during our time together through readings, guided exercises, writing, and discussion that will help you begin or continue your essays and memoirs.
