Do you have a story to tell that might inspire or challenge others? In Part I, we’ll examine memoir composition and discuss key elements of anecdotal writing. We’ll then begin the writing process, selecting potential themes and stories you’d like to develop. Following a timed writing activity, participants will review their efforts and discuss next steps.
