Learn Live: Memoir – Getting Started image
Synopsis:

Everyone has a memoir in their minds and in most cases, this is where it stays. This online short course is for people who have a story to tell and a hundred excuses for not telling it: maybe you’ve never written anything before, you have a foggy memory, or – most often – you don’t want to anger or upset your family. What are the ethics of owning your story and laying the past to rest? Biographer and critic Frances Wilson will discuss how to start writing your memoir and how to do so sensitively.
