Creating a (quirky) narrator/character in memoir and essay

Instructor: Kimberly Crum

In his essay, "On the Necessity of Turning Oneself into a Character, Phillip Lopate says, "You need to be able to see yourself from the ceiling: to know, for instance, how you are coming across in social situations, and to assess accurately when you are charming, and when you seem pushy, mousy, or ridiculous." Your job as writer is to make yourself believable—neither a hero not a victim. 

This video conference workshop will provide the resources, practice and craft tools to re-create yourself as a major (quirky) character in your true story. As part of this workshop, the instructor will provide a follow-up critique for each participant.
