Memoir and essay writers tell unvarnished personal stories that brush up against the stories of their loved ones. But what happens when your friends and family members don't want to be included? When they remember things differently? Is it possible for you to keep the peace but still tell your truth? In this 1.5-hour workshop, we'll talk about the unreliability of memory, how to research things you can't quite remember, why it's so fraught to write about loved ones, and how to put the "creative" in "nonfiction" without getting disowned by friends and family.
Taught by writer and editor, Stephanie Auteri
(www.stephauteri.com). Steph is the author of A Dirty Word, a reported memoir about the ways in which our culture has co-opted female sexuality.
