Through five live and interactive online sessions, novelist and memoirist Alison Jean Lester will engage you in the creative process of honing the essence of your memoir, choosing what belongs in it, and trying out structural options.
This course will focus on:
• Why you have chosen memoir for this story, and how this can guide your writing
• How what you want to write and what readers want to read may differ, and whether this matters
• Whether everything you imagine including truly enhances the experience
• What narrative structure would suit your goals best
• How to develop your narrative voice
Whether you are sure about your memoir and just want to be kick-started into writing, or you are only just beginning to think about it, this course will get the engine of your writing process going.
Alison Jean Lester is the author of the memoir Absolutely Delicious: A Chronicle of Extraordinary Dying (2020), a finalist in the Indie Excellence Book Awards. Her first published book of fiction was a short-story collection, Locked Out: Stories Far from Home (Monsoon Books, 2007).
