Life Writing: Exploring Memory and the Self

In this creative writing class, we will investigate how to engage and access memory in order to write about our own lives. Over 4 weeks, participants will explore different creative writing prompts to create short works of memoir. Beginners are welcome! No previous writing experience is required. If you’re living a life, you have all the experience you need for this class.

This class is located in the Community Room of Hirschfeld Towers.
