Developing the Memoir II

ENGLISH X462.9

7133361

Memoirs come in many forms, but what the best share in common is a quest for the truth. In this continuation of Developing the Memoir I ENGLISH X463, you continue that quest by studying a wide variety of forms and learning new ways to shape your stories. Practice essential craft elements such as the balance between scene, summary and musing and explore how memory and language collude to create new meaning. By the end of the course, you will have had the chance not only to produce fresh work but revise it too. Enrollment is limited.
