The Art of Memoir – How to Write YOUR Story (4-week writing class)
What is a memoir? What should (and shouldn't!) be included in creative nonfiction? What does it take to turn your story into a book?
Join us for a 4-week writing class led by award-winning author Wendy Sand Eckel for the answer to these questions and an opportunity to be mentored through the process of outlining, drafting, and editing your memoir.
Whether your goal is publication or writing your story down to share it with loved ones and friends, this interactive class will support you in improving writing skills, incorporating constructive feedback, and producing a work of creative nonfiction.
This is 4-week class and each session will build on the previous session. Please be sure you can attend all four sessions before you register.
Registration required.
Adults ages 18+
Presenter Bio
Degrees in criminology and social work, followed by years of clinical practice, helped WENDY SAND ECKEL explore her fascination with how relationships impact motivation, desire, and inhibition. Combined with her passion for words and meaning, writing mystery is a dream realized.
She is the award-winning author of the Rosalie Hart Mystery Series. Murder at Barclay Meadow and Death at the Day Lily Café were published by Minotaur Books in 2015 and 2016. Death at the Day Lily Café was selected “Best Cozy of 2016” by Suspense Magazine. She is an active member of the Mystery Writers of America and the International Association of Crime Writers.
Eckel lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in her dream house where she alternately gazes out her windows at the Chester River and hovers over the stove, creating succulent, sometimes experimental, meals for family and friends. She lives with the love of her life and two rescued orange tabbies, Frodo and Sam.
