Autobiography and Memoirs

Autobiography or Memoir? Just what is the difference between them? And how do you decide which to write – and what to do with it? In this one-day workshop, we will cover the differences and how to write vignettes, essays, and long form. We’ll do some practical exercises. And, to top it off, we’ll discuss some ways and places where you can publish – or get someone else to publish – your work. Family and friends welcome.
