Diving for Pearls: Finding the Memoir Beneath the Memory

Diving for Pearls: Finding the Memoir Beneath the Memory

Presented by The Writer's Center at The Writer's Center

Like a diver submerging into the depths, the memoirist must go beyond the surface of recollected images and experiences to find what author Vivian Gornick calls ?the story behind the situation.? In this workshop, we will sift through our memories and use them as a lens to illuminate the deeper story locked within. Class exercises and an exploration of memoir-specific narrative techniques will help you will come away with a better understanding of the heart of your story and concrete ways to make it come alive on the page.
