A memoir is defined as a nonfiction narrative writing based in the author’s personal memories. In this class students learn how to go about putting a memoir together which includes doing personal/family research, outlining the book and deciding which aspects or their personal stories should (or should not) be included. Memoirs are one of the most popular genres of books.

Whether a memoir ends up as a series of short stories or a full-fledged published (or self-published) book, it is a personal undertaking that can prove quite satisfactory. For those who have thought about writing a memoir this class can get you started.
