There are many ways to write about a life: a book-length project to be shared with children or grandchildren, first-person narratives about pivotal events or experiences, prose poems and more.

In this workshop, we will share our life stories and receive encouragement and critique on them. In-class exercises and prompts will take writers in unexpected directions.

No prior writing experience required.
