Carole Poustie - Memoir/Life Writing (SOLD OUT)

During the course of the workshop, participants will explore:

· What is life writing and what do we already know about it?

· What is creative nonfiction? Adding to the truth? Making things up? Something else?

· What is the difference between memoir, autobiography, biography, the personal essay?

· Converting a situation into a story

· Creating characters

· Writing in scenes

· Keeping the reader engaged—incorporating tension and suspense

· What is my structure?

· The question of ethics


Participants will have opportunity to write and to share their work with each other for feedback.
