Hi folks. This is just to let you know that I’m teaching a memoir writing class this spring, from Wednesday February 8 to Wednesday March 28 (eight weeks).
It meets from 7 to 9 PM in Brooklyn, and the fee is $300.
This workshop focuses on craft, particularly on using emotion, sensory details, and imagination to construct a profound and relatable piece of personal writing. Students will get frequent feedback in a supportive atmosphere.
The number of students is limited to eight.
If you’re interested or you have a friend who might be, please let me know at minkowitz AT earthlink.net.
Many thanks!
Donna
