Memoir Writing – Jeanne K. Cosmos, JD, MFA
What is Memoir?
How is Memoir different than Autobiography?
Where does one start?
At the beginning? Somewhere that
is a transformational moment?
Prompts and support in writing from memory to create
an engaging narrative is an ongoing process.
Series One Writers’ Workshops
“Memoir – Writing with a Perspective that is
Introspective & Engaging”
Memoir Workshops are designed for the development of a
narrative of self that is meaningful and introspective. The work also focusses on engagement with
audience.
This work is practical, concrete, and definitively
transformative.
Workshops are writing and reading intensive. Creating
language and narrative with words that communicate in tone and purpose is a
major component of the series.
All of this can be engaged at personal levels of
development and commitment.
The workshop is individualized from beginners to
expert writers; allowing for variance of experience among participants. It is
your passion for and commitment to writing that is important
Experimental, collaborative, and collage writing will
be explored and encouraged. So, bring it.
The peer editing piece is crucial to the process of
writing, as is the writing prompts during the group meetings.
