Since this is a two hour workshop, participants can expect to do some writing during it, if only an outline of what their memoir might look like. Examples of published memoirs, including the instructor's, will be examined and resource material, such as lists of good memoirs to study as models, will be provided. Questions about the content of the workshop may be sent to glenna.sloan@qc.cuny.edu.
