Thomas Larson writes that “memoir is most successful when it is not the ‘story of a life,’ but a focused part of that life.” This course will help you explore and focus on the most meaningful and memorable parts of your life. You’ll enjoy writing prompts, timed writing exercises and lots of constructive feedback.

  • Students should bring something to write with.
