I also teach creative writing online to adults!
This fall, I'll be teaching a 3-week Flash Memoir class with the Writing Co-Lab. Learn more and enroll here
In this 3-week class, we'll go from blank pages to three completed flash memoir drafts! Flash memoirs can stand on their own, or they help us bring depth and immediacy to our longer memoir projects as well. Writing flash memoirs can help us dig deeper into scenic work, imbue our settings and character descriptions with more heart and backstory, and find instant gratification as a break from the slog of writing longer works! Flash memoirs can be very inspirational.
