Structuring a Memoir - Winter 2026

Have a life story you'd like to write but not sure how to put it together? This 6-week course will take you through some of the key elements of a compelling, interesting story - including building character arcs, identifying internal and external plots, and crafting a satisfying resolution. While the course focuses on how these apply to memoir, it will be useful to anyone interested in writing. Each week includes time to work on your own writing.
