Writing Beyond the Self
Vivian Gornick wrote, “What happened to the writer is not what matters; what matters is the large sense the writer is able to make of what happened.” This is the heart of memoir: shaping experience into insight. To truly connect with readers, we need honesty, reflection, and the courage to be seen—not just as we wish, but as we are.
In this session, we’ll peel back the layers to explore what drives us to write memoir—and how to craft a story that resonates and endures.
