Creative Writing and Memoir Writing Class

Creative Writing and Memoir Writing Class

September 3, 2020

The Creative Writing Series will be held on Wednesdays from 10 AM-12 PM on Sept 9- Oct. 28. Creative Writing: Everyone has a head full of story ideas, perhaps even full fledged stories that have never have actually been put on paper. In this class, you will learn how to overcome the blocks that keep you from turning those ideas into reality. You will also learn how to distill those ideas into stories using description, characterization, dialogue and plotting. Email KAndrews@albright.org to register for this Zoom program.

The Memoir Writing Series will be held on Wednesdays from 1-3 PM on Sept 9- Oct. 28. Students in this class will be mining their own lives or those of family members to turn memories into stories using all the techniques of good fiction writing. We will also discuss the differences between fiction and nonfiction and consider what is necessary to make a personal memoir into a story or book that appeals to a more general audience.
