This is the year!
If you’ve been promising to sit down and write your memoir for longer than you’d care to admit, then 2026 will be the year you do it!
If you’re ready, please join the Matheson History Museum as we welcome Liz Coursen, author of "The Complete Autobiography Workbook," who will lead an 8-session, 4-month-long memoir writing workshop, starting in January 2026 and continuing through April. The comprehensive and fun workshop will cover all areas of the process, from selecting illustrations to what stories you’ve just got to tell, from designing your book’s cover to what stories you just might want to leave out—our goal is for all participants to complete the workshop with the first draft of their memoir in hand.
The workshop will take place at the Matheson on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, starting on January 13, from 10:30am until 12:00pm.
Only 20 spots available! If you would like to receive the Matheson Member discount but you haven't joined/renewed for 2026, you can do so here: https://mathesonmuseum.networkforgood.com/projects/260469-2026-annual-membership.
Each participant will receive a copy of Coursen’s "The Complete Autobiography Workbook," a 400-page doorstopper that will get you started, keep you going, and carry you over the finish line.
Are you ready? Yes? Then let’s go!
