Ts, Timelines, and Other Tricks Toward Your Memoir\u2019s First Draft<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor who will testify, who will accurately describe our lives if we do not do it ourselves?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You\u2019ve likely heard that everyone has a book inside them. I\u2019d like to rephrase that\u2014everyone has the potential to write a book. This works because rather than supposing our book is just there, waiting to be released, it considers the person and how we play a part in the creative process. In this workshop, we\u2019ll learn how to get out of our own way by using the letter T, timelines, and other tricks to propel you toward your memoir\u2019s first draft.”  \u2014Melissa Fraterrigo
