The first fifty pages of your memoir have the power to snag (or lose!) the attention of agents, editors, and readers. In this 6-week workshop, we'll read the first 50 pages of four published memoirs, excavating the ways authors set up their primary tensions, structures, voice, and more-- coming to understand the craft choices that build propulsivity. In our final weeks, you'll turn in 15 opening pages to your peers for feedback, cranking up the momentum of your own memoir.

This class is currently sold out. Book here for a consultation on the first 50 pages of your manuscript.
