This workshop will cover tips and techniques for writing a compelling memoir, personal essay or nonfiction historical narrative.

Using writing prompts and the work of other writers as a guide, we'll explore voice, structure, research and character development. By the end of the session, you’ll have some drafts to inspire you along your writing path.
