Memoir has one distinct advantage over fiction: We don’t have to make it up. At times, though, that factuality can be a burden—our familiarity with our topic can make it hard to see what’s genuinely interesting and essential. In this class, with Emily Dickinson’s advice “Tell all the Truth but tell it slant” as our guide, Martha Schulman will help those of us who are beginning memoir writers get started and will offer more experienced writers new exercises and approaches to move forward and find fresh ways to look at old material.
