Summer Workshop Program 2023

Paul Lisicky Developing Your Memoir July 31 to August 5, 2016 Tuition: $600 Workshop: 9AM-Noon Discipline: Nonfiction/Memoir OPEN TO ALL On-site Housing NOT Available - Off-site Housing Options

This is a class for those who are looking to begin (or revive) a memoir project. We’ll spend the first part of the week reading and thinking about the work of other writers, generating material inspired by those selections. We’ll spend the final two days talking about your new work. Along the way we’ll work hard, have fun, and make sure delight isn’t an enemy to seriousness.
