About this event

(Note: This class is conducted on GoToWebinar, and you will receive a link to admission before the class. You must take Memoirama first, to understand this class. You will also be greatly aided by reading my book, The Memoir Project, A Thoroughly Non-Standardized Text for Writing & Life. You also must send in the required homework before class, or your material will not be reviewed.)

The promise of the Memoirama II class:

Taught in one two-hour live class, this interactive experience allows you to send in the rough draft of your book's argument and work with Marion Roach Smith to map it out, beat by beat, chapter by chapter, and scene by scene, so that you can go home with a working structure.

This is the class you’ve been waiting for.

All live, microphones on, see your argument in a PowerPoint presentation divided up beat by beat and turned into a structure you can use.

Limited to 6 students per class.

Prerequisite: This class is for all those who have taken Memoirama and now want to come back with that argument sentence they developed there, get it right, and get to work.

In this class you will:

  • Experience the process of turning the rough draft of your argument into a powerful working structure
  • Get the chance to ask questions about that argument and how to deploy it 

Who should take this class:

  • Anyone who has taken Memoirama, our entry-level online memoir course
  • Anyone who is ready to get a fine working structure on which to build a book-length memoir
  • Those with memoir writing experience who are ready for the next level of work
  • Anyone who is dedicated to the success or his or her work 

We'll use your email address to send you important details about your upcoming class and writing resources we think you'll be interested in. You can unsubscribe at any time.

The refund policy for classes is as follows: 

For all classes, if you cancel 2 weeks before the session begins, you will get a full refund.

If you cancel within 2 weeks of the start date, I will actively try to fill it. If so, we're even. If not, you have the choice of credit for another class or 50% refund.

If you do not show up for the class there is no refund available unless you have contacted us directly and a refund or class transfer has been confirmed by us.

For the Master Class, if you cancel after taking the first class, you get 50% of the unused portion. To do so, you must cancel before the second class.
