WRITING MEMOIRS with Rich Mintzer 
A memoir is defined as a nonfiction narrative writing based in the author’s personal memories. The assertions made in the work are thus understood to be factual. 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. In some cases one person’s story can reach out and touch many other individuals, while for other authors their memoir is written so family members can learn more about their background and personal history. 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.

Whether you are writing a memoir, non-fiction book, novel or children’s book, this is the place to begin the process.
