This event will be held virtually on Zoom.
In memoir, writers use the specific details of their lives to connect to broader universal themes and experiences. In this hands-on workshop designed for writers at all levels, we will look at several examples of place-based writing, and complete several brief writing exercises designed to sharpen your use of geographic place, physical setting, and sensory details to enrich your personal writing. Writers are encouraged to have pictures and other personal mementos handy for our writing exercises. By the end of the session, you will have ideas to continue your works in progress and new tools to enrich your writing.
