Service Description

This online course treats memoir as a practice of becoming: an intentional, journal-led path through memory that helps writers examine choices, clarify values, and claim a more authentic self. Through memoir instruction and guided journal exercises, students explore purpose, theme, voice, structure, and scene work while uncovering meaningful moments, patterns, and turning points. Students will learn to “journal-pick” existing pages for insight, experiment with voice and perspective, and consider the ethical and safety concerns of writing from life, including practical uses of AI. Downloadable prompts, peer feedback, and instructor guidance support both personal memoir projects and those leading life-story or journaling groups. The course offers a practical process for rethinking the past, deepening self-knowledge, and writing with renewed authenticity.
