Writer in Residence Workshop: The Magic of Micro-Memoir

This workshop will cover the basic tools of literary memoir with a focus on micro-memoir—memoirs in the 250-word range. We’ll read and discuss some of these tiny memoirs, which can be used as a building block for long-form memoir, and we’ll engage in some expressive writing exercises in which we’ll play with the micro-form. Writers of all genres are welcome.
