The first session in a two-part series on how to write your memoir!
About the Event
People often say they want to write a book when they retire, and the most popular topic they want to write about is their own lives.
In Memoirama, a 2-part virtual class, AARP members and guests will learn to write their own memoir. Instructor Marion Roach Smith will review how an aspiring writer can share their voice with the world through various forms and on myriad topics, all curated from one’s own lived experience.
In Part 1, you’ll receive:
- A live, 90-minute introduction to the art of writing what you know
- Instruction in how to shape a memoir story pitch using the unique Memoir Project Algorithm
- Live Q&A session
Register today! And be sure to sign up for Part 2, a follow up session on January 28, as well.
