MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM—WRITING A MEMOIR: TELLING THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE

Join Pulitzer Prize winning author Michael Cunningham for an audience-involved workshop on telling the story of your life through memoir writing. Telling your version of your own life may seem easy, but a memoir is more than straight narrative. Good memoirs compel readers to keep reading. There’s a thread or a theme that resonates with readers. What makes you want to share your life’s story? Is there something universal about it or relevant to a particular audience? Is there a thread or theme running through your life’s key moments? For this session, Cunningham will discuss his own work in this genre, his memoir coming out in July from Random House, Unsayable, and will lead the group in some writing of their own.
