This class is designed for any student who has just begun the process of thinking about writing a memoir. No writing experience is necessary. Within this 3-hour seminar you will learn what a memoir is, the different genres within memoir, and what basic elements constitute each. You will then go through a series of writing exercises that will jump-start their ideas. By the end of the class, students will have a solid understanding of the genre and a draft of writing from which to branch out from.
