In this lively, hands-on writing workshop, award-winning memoirist and writing teacher Jennifer Browdy will guide you through the early steps of envisioning and crafting your memoir.

Our lives are so rich and complex, it can be hard to figure out what to focus on when you sit down to write memoir. Which stories to tell? Which people to include? What aspects of your experience are important to share, and who are you trying to reach?

This two-hour online workshop will provide key organizational strategies and techniques that will help you find your way to the heart of the story that only you can tell.
