🗣️ Calling All Memoirists! ✍🏻📚️
Don't miss your chance to study with instructor Margo Steines @redstateblues in 2024. This February, she will be teaching "writing the Hybrid Memoir" where students will share practical techniques (like how to use index cards and your wall or floor to visually represent ideas and structures, and how to use the sonic rhythms of poetry to link disparate chunks of text), will workshop rough pages, and will serve as sounding boards for each other’s new work.
