Sometimes, what’s left unsaid can be just as powerful as what’s on the page.
This Sunday, August 23, memoirist, essayist and poet Rebecca Evans leads Using Monologues to Power Your Memoir Writing, a three-hour workshop exploring how a form more commonly associated with theater, film and poetry can unlock new possibilities in memoir and personal essay.
Through examples and generative exercises, you’ll experiment with writing only one side of a narrative—learning how to distill scenes to their essence, heighten tension, trust your reader to fill in the blanks and find new ways into stories that may have left you stuck.
You’ll leave with new approaches to your craft and several narrative seeds you can continue developing into essays or a larger manuscript.
Class takes place this Sunday, August 23 at 12pm ET. Registered students can attend live or receive a recording and watch asynchronously. Sign up here.
