A rigorous yet supportive workshop, intended for writers who are in the process of completing a memoir, from early draft to final revisions.    In response to participant’s submissions, the class, under the direction of the instructor,  will provide insightful and constructive peer critique, while also discussing important issues, such as structure, elements of craft and revision.  Participants should, at a minimum, have completed a substantial  portion of a draft of their memoir and have previously taken at least one creative writing class.
