Writing Workshop: From Memoir to Fiction

This workshop looks at how you can turn your life into fiction. After examining examples from various writers, participants will discuss how to select material from their own lives, do short writing exercises and have the opportunity to read their work and receive comments. Come prepared to tell about an unusual moment in your life.
