Memoir: Finding the Emotional Truth in Your Story


  • Santa Barbara Writers Conference 1111 East Cabrillo Boulevard Santa Barbara, CA, 93103 United States (map)

The Santa Barbara Writers Conference: Santa Barbara, CA
Memoir Workshop: Monday-Friday, 9:00-11:30 AM, Studio

We all have a story to tell, but the question is what is yours to tell? In a supportive and confidential milieu, together we will dive deep into memories, discuss one another’s work, and engage in stimulating writing prompts. We will discuss the art of memoir writing, what makes a memoir compelling, how to find your memoir’s focus, and how to express your deepest emotions.

The workshop is suitable for those who have been contemplating writing a memoir, as well as those who have already begun the writing process. You will leave the workshop inspired, encouraged and with many snippets of writing to be used in your developing memoir. Optional: Bring 3-5 double-spaced pages of your memoir, preferably from the beginning.
