Writing Small in Memoir at OLLI ISUAA, Spring 2021
In this six-week course, we will focus on “making the most of small moments.” Drawn from personal experiences – encapsulated memories – we will write memoir in short form. (Max: ~700 words.)
Through writing prompts, and group workshopping (critiquing) of pieces, participants will explore techniques of writing that lend them-selves to small memoir pieces. Combining short-form pieces can create a mural of a life story allowing for readers to shine light on the in-betweens.
The class is limited to eight writers to allow time for all participants to receive workshop feedback. No prior writing experience is necessary.
