Memoir Writing, Revisted
by Leenie Moore
This memoir writing workshop offers a supportive space to explore personal stories and transform lived experience into meaningful narrative. Through guided prompts, discussion, and practical techniques, participants will learn how to shape memories into compelling scenes, find their authentic voice, and reflect on the moments that have shaped them. Emphasis is placed on curiosity rather than perfection, allowing writers to approach their stories with honesty, care, and creativity. Suitable for beginners and experienced writers alike, this workshop encourages self-discovery, connection, and the powerful act of bearing witness to one’s own life through writing.
Registration/Cancellation Deadline: March 7, 2026.
