Sheila Bender’s memoir The New Theology: Turning to Poetry in a Time of Grief was a transition from writing poetry, personal essay and instructional work, she will talk about what she learned over the seven years she worked on her memoir. Included in the discussion will be story structure, the purpose of memoir, and what she as an author has to offer others. She will talk about how you might shape your memoir, and how to write toward an ending you don’t yet know.
These points will be covered:
- Know what’s at stake
- Have a time frame
- Educate others about something they’ll be interested in
- What to do if you don’t have the answers to the first three questions
- How to work from personal essay to memoir
