Write with instinct. Leap into your story. Complete your 2,500-word memoir in one month.
March into Memoir is a live, online guided workshop series designed to help you trust your instincts, build momentum, and bring a meaningful personal story to life.
Over the course of one focused month, you’ll transform lived experience into a finely crafted 2,500-word memoir piece.
By the end of the series, you’ll not only have a completed memoir piece but also gain clarity about what comes next. You’ll decide whether to submit your piece for publication in a magazine or journal, include it in a book-length memoir, enter it into a nonfiction contest, or adapt it into a talk you can offer to audiences.
How it works
March into Memoir takes place over four live 2-hour Zoom sessions, held on Saturdays from March 7 to 28 (1–3 p.m. ET).
Most of the writing happens during timed, guided writing sprints.
Registration is limited to 25 participants to ensure an intimate, focused experience.
