Writing our lives often means writing about our families. Family is our first mirror and how we first define ourselves, and that’s why writing about them is one of the trickiest aspects of memoir writing. We can’t get away from these people and how they’ve shaped us, but how fair is it to put them in our stories? How does a writer handle writing about family with honesty and respect?
In this generative class, we will examine how writers have tackled writing about family and explore craft techniques that can help us in writing about the people who love us the most and have hurt us the worst.
