Writing about your family offers a great opportunity to practice the craft of creative nonfiction writing as you discover new perspectives on your life and your family’s overarching story. “The single most important thing you can do for your family may be the simplest of all: develop a strong family narrative,” wrote Bruce Feiler, author of “The Secrets of Happy Families.” This workshop will help you create a plan and get started on your family history. In this workshop we explore how to write about your family’s formative experiences, values, and life lessons.
Over four weeks we’ll explore writing a family history: Why it matters, how to plan your research using the simple mnemonic of “People, Places, Paper,” and how to write well while respecting the family dynamics and boundaries involved. We’ll meet weekly using Zoom to learn and share students’ progress. At the conclusion students will have a solid research plan and several short essays that comprise a beginning of a family history.
