Class Description

Description

The Writers Studio has been helping writers online for 20 years using our custom, easy to use online classrooms. Our online students publish, win awards, and achieve full creative expression. Students get personal feedback from the teacher every week.

How do you write a good memoir? You apply the narrative techniques of fiction and poetry: you take the fascinating, messy raw material of your life and build a frame for it. You distill. You find a voice that’s all you but that also offers you flexibility, perspective and the right counterbalance to the story’s content. You tap into your emotions to give your story energy and urgency.

What’s the best way to start? In this six-week class, we will do close readings from an assortment of wildly varied but equally powerful memoirs – by memoirists ranging from Claude Brown to Annie Dillard — to see how authors have solved these problems for themselves. Then you will try out these methods for yourselves to see which ones fit you best.

All the readings and exercises will be provided in the online classroom. You will write two double-spaced pages every week and provide weekly feedback to your classmates. Everyone will receive regular critiques from the teacher. There will also be an optional weekly one-hour typed chat reserved for talking about writing and asking questions of the teacher.

Note: This class is open to all current and former Writers Studio students as well as newcomers to the school.
