Every life is filled with memorable, compelling experiences! This class is for writers who have either already started their memoirs as well as for those just beginning their memoir journey! We will explore narrative writing techniques that build compelling action, character, conflict, dialogue, and plot to help you discover the truth and urgency behind your own story. Offering a safe, supportive online group environment, the class welcomes veterans, current active duty, and reserve members of the armed forces as well as veteran caregivers and immediate adult military family members. Recommended class reading: The Memoir Project: A Thoroughly Non-Standardized Text for Writing & Life by Marion Roach Smith.
