Workshop/Event Description

What is the role of narrative arc in structuring memoir? How do we find exposition, inciting incident, rising action, climax, and resolution when life doesn't unfold that way? It can be tricky, but finding the narrative arc in memoir can transform an unfocused ramble into a true story, well told.

Intended audience:

Writers of any skill level
