In this workshop, you will be writing FLASH MEMOIR. Flash memoir is SHORT. You will be writing poignant, well-crafted autobiographical vignettes, basically, about the people, places, objects, moments that are unforgettable—that shaped your life…

Join Leanne Grabel this summer for a week long memoir-writing workshop at beautiful Menucha in Corbett, Oregon.

In this workshop, you will write a series of flash memoirs--short pieces that recount these events and people that formed and informed you. We will look at many examples, review poetic techniques and editing techniques so that your words will be concise and yet able to describe without becoming bogged down in length and complication. In essence, you will be writing prose poetry.
