Adult Class:
A Memoir Course for Adults with a Story to Tell
Everyone has a story worth telling. In this creative nonfiction writing workshop for adults, we’ll explore personal stories, memories, and moments that have shaped us. Whether you’re drawn to memoir, reflective essays, or poetic storytelling, this course will guide you through the process of finding your voice and putting truth on the page.
Through guided prompts, short lessons, and supportive workshop time, you’ll learn how to craft meaningful scenes, draw readers in with emotion and detail, and tell the story only you can tell. No experience required—just a willingness to show up with a pen and a little courage.
Taught by a published memoirist and experienced writing teacher, this is a perfect space to begin or continue your writing journey.
