MEMOIR WORKSHOP

MEMOIR SHE WROTE: MINING YOURSELF ON THE PAGE

Greg Mania

My teaching philosophy is pretty simple: If you care about your story, someone else will, too. My job—and joy—is to help my students hone their craft by looking inward. Because only by looking inward can you learn to write about the way you move through the world. I'm not here to teach as much as I am to hold up a mirror and help you mine your reflection for the things you might not have noticed before or hadn't thought to consider in one way or another—all of the things that make up the fabric of your being, the things that should be radically honored both on and off the page.

This workshop combines creative writing exercises, group discussions, and transformative revision techniques.
