IN-PERSON: Flash Memoir: Discovering Jewels in Drawers of Our Lives   

**This class will be taught In-Person**

Looking back on turning points, highlights and lowlights of our lives can be invigorating and  illuminating, and the process can result in arresting, evocative, publishable pieces. Our class will  focus on writing flash memoir, brief true stories under 2,000 words. Each week we’ll examine the  story-telling building blocks vital for memoir: vivid characters and settings, careful narrative  pacing, lucid language, insightful musing. We’ll read and discuss a variety of brief published  memoirs and embark each week on writing new flash pieces of our own. We’ll also discuss  publication opportunities and best practices for submitting.
