    Description
    This introductory creative writing workshop in life story writing and personal narrative emphasizes the essay as an art form. Readings and frequent writing assignments provide background and practice in writing memoir/personal narratives that are informed by one's experiences. Class sessions consist of reading and writing exercises designed to focus attention on imagery and sensory experiences while recognizing the best way to convey the desired message. This class is organized in a workshop model to allow students to present works in progress to the group and to receive useful feedback and advice for the revision process. Open entry/exit.
