Finding the Agency in Your Memoir

One of memoir’s biggest challenges is managing the relationship between our voices now and who we were in the past. We spend years playing with the ideas in our memoirs, writing, rewriting, but when we get to the end we realize that the memoir we’ve written isn’t the book we wanted to write. This craft seminar will explore strategies for staying engaged in our own journeys, and doing that hard thing that the best memoirists have mastered: aligning who “you” are now with the “you” of the past on the page.
