For those thinking about writing a memoir, or already working on one, join renowned memoirist and writer Sallie Bingham for a two-day seminar designed to explore the process from beginning to end. We will talk about everything—from the initial decision to write a memoir to the total honesty the process requires. From there we’ll dig deeper into critical first steps, outlining, defining context, and much more. We will read and discuss excerpts from several memoirs. We will end with endings, of course, and send you home with a deeper understanding of both your process and your story.

This class is suitable for beginner levels.

Thursday & Friday, May 18 & 19, 2023. 10am-4pm ET each day.

Sallie Bingham is an American author, playwright, poet, teacher, feminist activist, and philanthropist who has taught workshops in memoir at the Carnegie Center, The Taos Writing Center, and other venues over the past ten years. She has published four memoirs, and her latest, Little Brother, was published by Sarabande Books in 2022.
