What's Your Big Idea? A One-Day Workshop, with Cathy Luna
How, as writers, do we uncover the themes or big ideas at the heart of our own stories? In this one-day workshop, we will examine several best-selling memoirs for their themes and play with a variety of active techniques to help uncover and illuminate the big ideas within our own true stories. Workshop participants will leave with a strong sense of their memoir’s theme as well as how to structure their story around this central idea.
Sunday, March 27, 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. ($150)
