  • Memoir 101: Memoir Essentials with Laura Cathcart Robbins

    It was good to have exercises and not just consist of lectures from the instructor. I would've enjoyed more participants sharing their writing.
  • Memoir 1: Memorable Memoir Workshop

    Anonymous review on 3/22/2020
    This course was a gift from my family for which I am very grateful. By profession, a prolific writer of policy analysis, media releases, political speeches, and legislative presentations, I had never attempted memoir writing. Our instructor is an accomplished, published author of two memoirs as well as a stage and television actor. She clearly grasps her craft. Her teaching style, though sometimes brusque - even a bit Socratic - communicates her criticisms cogently. Still, class/instructor give and take was often truncated by her cutting it off mid-sentence - almost as if she was expecting a taxi to show up any minute. The bottom line is that I am a better writer thanks to her and my classmates.
