Come prepared to write, share, and explore both the risks and rewards of capturing your family story on the page.

Designed for memoirists, personal essayists and nonfiction writers, this interactive workshop explores the emotional, ethical and moral challenges of writing about the people closest to us.

Through examples from published writers, lively discussion and hands-on exercises, participants will consider what is “fair game,” how memory and perspective shape our stories, and the potential consequences of sharing them.

Participants will also learn practical strategies for navigating sensitive material and getting meaningful, honest family stories onto the page.
