Events › Personal Essay vs. Memoir

Learn the differences between two popular forms of creative nonfiction: personal essay and memoir. We will generate experiences or topics that make for impactful personal essays, and memorable times or turning points in writers’ lives that make for meaningful pieces of memoir. We will begin drafting works of both personal essay and memoir. Collaborator: The Loft Literary Center. This program is funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
