Life in Short: Micro Memoir Workshop

Memoir doesn't have to cover decades to tell a story. Sometimes a single moment, vividly depicted, illuminates a life.

Memoir doesn't have to cover decades to tell a story. Sometimes a single moment, vividly depicted, illuminates a life. If you’ve wanted to write memoir but are overwhelmed at the immensity of the task—or you’re already writing but need a fresh approach—consider micro memoir. The smaller format can be freeing, allowing you to focus on an event that serves as a microcosm of the larger experience. In this weekend-long workshop you’ll gain techniques and tips to write tight, powerful micro memoirs—short narrative forms—and come away with a polished 100-word piece and a 200-word piece suitable for publication (with guidance on where to submit). In just one weekend, you'll learn how to vividly capture details of a unique life well-lived: your own.
A book reviewer for Publishers Weekly , Linda's micro nonfiction has been published in the New York Times and in "Tiny Love Stories: True Tales of Love in 100 Words or Less" (Artisan Books, December 2020). Her writing advice has appeared in The Writer and Writer's Digest magazines. Linda has presented at writing conferences from the Chautauqua Writers' Festival to HippoCamp, the annual nonfiction conference of Hippocampus magazine. Her track record teaching micro memoir has yielded three Tiny Love Stories (published by the New York Times) written by three students in her classes.
