When writing memoir, it’s essential to explore how character development contributes to a compelling narrative.
This class will provide multiple opportunities for participants to consider how change and curiosity relate to character development for the narrator as well as the other individuals in the story. We will explore the roles of research, rumination, and empathy as they add meaning and layers to our personal journeys. We will read, write, discuss, imagine, connect, and grow. Instruction will include lecture, writing prompts, conversation, reflection, and confidence-building exercises.
TAKE THIS CLASS IF
- You’re writing memoir or personal essays.
- You’d like to understand how character development can improve your memoir writing.
- The people or characters in your creative nonfiction work often lack depth or feel flat.
The deadline to register for this class is Friday, April 29 at 5:00 PM CDT.
