With Claire Cameron

Description

A lot of writers shy away from memoir. They are concerned they are not famous enough, that they’re too boring, or that their lives aren’t the kind that will resonate through the ages. But other people’s lives are interesting to readers. We will talk about why your story is worth writing, why other people will be interested, and how to decide on a way forward. Bring your ideas (or just listen)—we’ll workshop them together.
