Memoir doesn't have to cover decades to tell a story. Sometimes a single moment, vividly depicted, illuminates a life.Memoir doesn't have to cover decades to tell a story. Sometimes a single moment, vividly depicted, illuminates a life. If you’ve wanted to write memoir but are overwhelmed at the immensity of the task—or you’re already writing but need a fresh approach—consider micro memoir. The smaller format can be freeing, allowing you to focus on an event that serves as a microcosm of the larger experience. In this weekend-long workshop you’ll gain techniques and tips to write tight, powerful micro memoirs—short narrative forms—and come away with a polished 100-word piece and a 200-word piece suitable for publication (with guidance on where to submit). In just one weekend, you'll learn how to vividly capture details of a unique life well-lived: your own.
