    The instructor Cullen Thomas was extremely knowledgable about the subject of memoir writing. I was also impressed that he remembered everyone's name after an initial introduction.I will definitely explore other curses available in memoir writing.

    Feel I really got my time and money's worth in this class. Taking classes in universities can sometimes feel stiff and also costs way more but Gotham feels more accessible and casual but still professional. I'm a copywriter for a living but was curious about what it would take to write a personal project: a memoir. This class was a good intro to all you need to know. Even it was a one day intensive, it didn't overwhelm either so I give props to the instructor for handling our time and the exchanges among students well. Would def recommend this!

    I liked Cullen Thomas's teaching technique and ended up learning a lot during that one-day session. He systematically went through every important aspect of writing a memoir, which gave me the inspiration to get back to writing. I am thinking of signing up for a 10-week Memoir II session that it taught by him this summer or fall, although I already completed both Memoir I and II at Gotham last year.
