A chance to... learn HOW TO WRITE MEMOIR (with me)

A few weeks ago, I went to New York City and met with a former writing student to talk about their project. This writer explained their idea to me in detail and the wheels in my head began to turn. How could I help them? What did I have to say of value? Then a thought jumped forward.

“Do you think you might be writing a redemption arc? It could be useful to approach your narrative in that way.”

The student paused, stared down, then up at me - “I’ve never thought of it way before. That might help a lot.”

I’ve saved these moments over the two years since my memoir, When They Tell You To Be Good, was published. Book touring, teaching, and interviewing has taught me a lot about the process of writing, editing, teaching memoir writing, and being an author - how to guide students in conversation on the more troubling and emotional parts of their narratives, providing in-depth feedback, and navigating the external and internal self. Engaging in this way of teaching and learning about others has been humbling.

So I’m glad to present a special opportunity to Millennial Writer Life readers. Later this month, I’ll teach a course with Authors Publish about How To Write Memoir.

What will the course include…

• Four weeks of in-depth lessons on the art and craft of writing the memoir

• Detailed feedback on your writing from Prince Shakur.

• Personal guidance on the process of writing, researching, and crafting your memoir.

• Access to live office hours with all of our instructors, even after the course has finished. (At no additional cost.)

• Full access to our private community of writers, so you can network with your fellow students.
