From Me-More to Memoir: Crafting Real-Life Stories with Rebecca McClanahan

Unlike autobiography, memoir “assumes the life and ignores most of it,” writes William Zinsser. Yet many writers struggle with what to include, what to exclude, and how to shape a life-based narrative that invites readers in. Whether you are writing brief essays, a hybrid text, or a book-length narrative, this session (a mix of instruction, writing exercises, and discussion) will help you begin the journey from “Me-More” to memoir.
