Memoir Writing Workshop

Saturday, January 17
10:30 am - 12:00 pm

Memoir Writing Workshop takes place on Saturday, January 17th.

Wendy Wallace, M.F.A., leads the class on the third Saturday of every month, which will include free form writing exercises and an exploration of the nature of memoirs, and examining voice and perspective. The History Center has sponsored a Bridgeport Memoir Writing Class since 2002. Our class has continued to write about memories not only of Bridgeport, but about the stories that we find have linked our lives. We all have shared landscapes of memories, common experiences in daily life.

Newcomers are welcome. Please join us!
