An opportunity to familiarize yourself with the art of memoir and start thinking about a story

is one of my greatest joys. I will guide you through the process, and I can promise you it will be a lively
and meaningful and creative workshop experience. By the end of the 90 minutes, you will have
completed – at the very least – the opening line to a story from your life.”
