Think you've got a story to tell but don't know where to start? Working on a memoir but need some guidance? We're here to help. In this workshop, we'll define the memoir genre, identify best practices in memoir by looking at the work of writers like Jaquira Diaz, Mary Karr, and Mark Doty, and engage in exercises that will clarify your memoir project and give you a roadmap of where to go next.

This event is pay-what-you-can. You can choose either the free ticket or a donation. For more information on the Indiana Writers Center and its mission, please visit indianawriters.org.

The IWC supports Indiana writers of all ages and backgrounds and reaches out to people whose voices are rarely heard. Classes and workshops taught by published writers provide writing education that encourages creative expression and enhances the communication skills necessary for success in school, in the workplace, and in life.
