Stillion Conference Room

Designed for first-time memoirists embarking on a book-length project meant for public readership, this workshop will examine the two-strand structure that underlies countless successful memoirs. We'll start by considering model memoirs, move to applying what we've learned to your own work, then have time to share with the group. Come with an idea or a full draft and leave with a clearer roadmap for your story--the one only you can tell.
