How do you distill the central topic of a part of your life? And make it meaningful enough for folks who don’t know you to care?
Theme is more important in memoir than in any other genre–and it’s probably the hardest part of writing a memoir. Memoir is personal. It’s difficult to back away far enough from your own story to clearly see its themes, meaning, and message.
But your memoir needs a compelling takeaway for your reader. It must have a clear core message to have the power to reach folks far outside your circle. You’re not a celebrity with a huge platform, after all.
In this class, you’ll discover and clarify the thematic core of your memoir and maybe even settle on a working title.
Come prepared to look underneath the plot of your story and find its true meaning.
