Memoir Class with Amy Webber–October 7, 14, 21, and 28 10am-12pm
Write Your Memoir and give this gift of love to your family. This class will provide you with
the roadmap to write like a pro. Every memoir has a greater purpose: a lesson or lessons
that you learned and want to share with your family and friends. Let's capture those
moments. Or perhaps you want to grasp a flash of time like a photograph and write it down
before life changes so much that it's forgotten. We will write these unique experiences to
entertain your family, enlighten the next generation, inspire others to do great things,
instruct those curious about your journey, or for catharsis, and to get your remarkable
story on paper. Each of the four classes will be filled with writing prompts that will spark your memory and activities that will help you organize all your wonderful stories into a powerful story structure.
We will be writing, so please bring anything you need such as a laptop, paper and pen/pencil, or iPad. We will also share our writing with each other if you feel comfortable doing so. This class will be a safe space for honing your writing skills and sifting through your life experiences.
These are the first questions I will ask in the first class:
1) What is your favorite memoir (if any)? (Title, Author, Theme.)
2) Who are you writing your memoir for? (Yourself, your children, your grandchildren, the world.)
3) Do you read books, and if so, who is your favorite author?
$85 for all 4 classes. Drop-ins: $25 each class.
If people want to pay on-site, I can take cash, credit card, Venmo, Zelle, and personal checks
I will provide handouts in class and a folder to put the handouts in.
