A week prior to this workshop, students will submit the opening pages of a memoir-in-progress or a short narrative essay (3-6 pages double spaced) for instructor and peer feedback. Through lively discussion of student manuscripts, short writing exercises, examples of published texts and mini lectures, students will be introduced to a variety of narrative techniques and approaches used in memoir writing, particularly those related to structure, form, point-of-view, theme; and the relationship between narrative and exposition. This workshop is led by Lindsay Wong, who holds a BFA in creative writing and an MFA in literary nonfiction. Her work has appeared in No Tokens, The Fiddlehead, Ricepaper Magazine and Apogee Journal. Space is limited; advance registration required.
