Do you have a story to tell that will move, delight, stir and inform readers? This six week course guides students in crafting a memoir. Students will explore both the language and structural elements of writing a memoir. As this is a continuation course, it is most suited for students who have studied the introductory memoir module or have other experience of autobiographical writing.
