Ever thought about writing your OWN story? Memoirs and autobiographies are the perfect way to connect with your family, to tell your story your way, and to create a lasting memory of who you are.

In this class, we’ll:

• Explore the difference between an autobiography and a memoir
• Use themes to discover and organize memories
• Create strong, interesting and informative stories which will cross generations
• Learn to choose what should and shouldn’t be in our personal stories and why
• Weave together our memories to make a remarkable book
• Discuss commercial publication as opposed to writing only for our families
