Using her accessible and proven hands-on approach that demystifies the writing process, Professor Giunta will guide students through a series of focused writing prompts that will make it possible for them to generate compelling memoir material. Lessons in the craft of memoir and strategies for targeted editorial revision will teach students to develop and sustain the kind of writing practice that is necessary to plan, write, and complete a memoir. By the end of the workshop, students will have a draft of a memoir piece and a toolbox of writing strategies that will enable them to continue to work on their memoir independently. The class will meet on Zoom and there will also be Blackboard activities and resources to support the weekly practice.
