Lay It Bare: The Naked Heart of Personal Narrative
Workshop Overview
Most successful works of memoir, both books and essays, combine self-imagination, a bare-naked heart and a fearless dose of honesty. This workshop will be structured around finding our way into this place. Read excerpts, write, share work and discuss different methods of non-fiction storytelling. The first two days will be spent generating new work – investigating ways to unearth material from our lives and learning constructive editing techniques. Day three will focus on revising one new piece to be workshopped with the group. You will likely leave with several fragments and starts and one longer revised piece.
