Your Life as Story

Are you stuck, looking for a way in, unable to figure out how to proceed, wondering how to make a compelling read from the raw material that is your life? To master memoirist Beverly Donofrio writing is about diving deep to find your truth, and then shaping your experiences into a story that others will not want to put down: because your truth, pain, shame, and obsessions help them face their own. And because telling your story not only has the potential to heal the teller but the reader too.

Beverly will offer in-class exercises designed to unearth memory and approach your material in a safe, fun, and original way. She will instruct you in the craft of plot, setting, scene-writing, and reflection; she will also teach you to move back and forth in time seamlessly and to write detailed, visually descriptive language.
