Memoir Writing Intensive with Anya Yurchyshyn

Overview

This is an intensive, 24-week class, designed for students looking to write a first draft of a memoir, work on a memoir in progress, or a collection of personal essays.

There will be weekly craft-based discussions on topics such as story development, voice, and style as well as reading assignments from a diverse array of published work. Registered participants will submit a draft or outline of their proposed memoir project prior to class, which all students will read before the first session.

Students are chosen on the basis of a manuscript submission. Applications must be received by Tuesday, November 3. View the submission guidelines and submit an application for this class.
