Author Meghan Lamb shares exciting new ideas, examples, and strategies for writing memoirs in short pieces, guiding you through the process of sharing your memories.

We all have amazing stories to tell! Writing a memoir can be a great way to record your experiences and leave a legacy behind for your family. With our busy lives, however, it can be daunting to plot an entire book of memoirs. This course will provide you with exciting new ideas, examples, and strategies for writing memoirs in short (less than 1,000-word) pieces, guiding you through the process of sharing your memories.

This workshop is in partnership with StoryStudio Chicago. This program will be hosted virtually on Zoom.
