Writing Life Stories: Memoir (formerly Group A)




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Are you ready to capture your memories, reflect on cherished moments, and celebrate the people who have shaped your life? Whether you are a seasoned writer or new to storytelling, our memoir-writing class welcomes you! Together, we create a warm, encouraging environment where every voice is valued, and everyone grows as a writer. Throughout the term, for each class session, you will write up to seven hundred words about a meaningful experience, adventure, or chapter from your life. You might share a story about moving to a new city, starting a business, or beginning or ending a relationship or a career. Your memoir can span a week, a decade, or more. During class, we read our pieces aloud and offer constructive feedback. If you wish, you can lead a class discussion on a published memoir of your choice. This class has been an OLLI offering for more than ten years. Past participants have published family keepsake books, contributed to local anthologies, and formed lasting friendships by sharing their stories. Join us to discover the joy of writing about your life.
