Every life contains a multitude of stories. How best can you tell yours? This soup-to-nuts Life Writing workshop with Kathryn Miles will help you develop the skills needed to craft compelling narrative and memoir.
We’ll begin with exercises to determine what stories you want to tell, along with how to identify your audience and theme. From there, we will explore and practice creative writing techniques to develop character, dialogue, scene and structure. Finally, students will have the opportunity to pursue guided research and to practice pitching their work for publication.
A workshop-based class, this course will also provide ample opportunity for writers of every level to share their work and receive feedback in a collaborative, supportive environment. Class meets October 16, 23, 30, and November 6, 13, and 20
