About this event
In this workshop, we'll practice creating lively, compelling characters who are drawn from real life, on the page. First, we'll focus on writing about other people — and then, we'll turn to ourselves, learning how to use our feelings and point of view to craft a great narrator for memoirs and personal essays.
