This workshop is for practicing writers working on reported narratives, first-person essays, and memoir who are in need of feedback and a supportive writing community to dive deeper into their texts. Through weekly participatory feedback workshops, reading discussions, and optional writing/revision exercises, this class will support participants to develop a firm grasp of their project's structure, pacing, character development, essential questions, and the balance of scene and exposition. The goal of this class will be to deepen our writing practice, hone our work on the page, and come away with the strongest versions of the stories we're working to tell. This workshop will be feedback and critique intensive, including written and verbal critique from your instructor and peers.
Prerequisites: Intermediate/Advanced Personal Essay Workshop and/or permission of the instructor. To apply, please email a writing sample (three to five pages) and a brief description of your workshop history to info@lighthousewriters.org.
