Memoir Writing Class Session: Fridays at 10:00

Memoir writing is a soft start to the process of telling your story done in a supportive group of classmates. Your story can take you places that you never imagined, activate parts of your brain that haven’t been used in a while, and leave a legacy for your children. You may even decide to submit a short story for publication.

Memoir writing is all of these things but most of all it is FUN! If this sounds interesting to you, call for more information or to sign up for the class beginning April 1.
