NEW CLASS!

Please join us for our Spring Series 2018 as we continue The Memoir Project here at Women Writing for (a) Change, Jacksonville.

In this 12-week series, we'll use Marion Roach Smith's unconventional book to continue our exploration of memoir writing, whether we are documenting our own personal stories for ourselves, for loved ones, or for publishing.

We'll also explore other texts and techniques on memoir writing, using the books On Writing Well and Writing About Your Life by William Zinsser. This class is a follow-on to our Fall Series on memoir, which proved to be so popular (and enjoyable) that we want to keep it going!

The Spring Series meets weekly on Wednesday nights for 12 weeks, through April 18, culminating in our Public ReadAround on Sunday, May 6, 2018.

You don't have to be a professional writer to join in. Use this class to find out more about the amazing process used by thousands of women across the country to express their authentic selves through writing and community-building. We'll use prompts, poetry and prose to practice many different writing techniques.

“A circle of women may be the most powerful force known to humanity. If you have one, embrace it. If you need one, seek it. If you find one, for the love of all that is good and holy, Dive in. Hold on. Love it up. Get naked. Let them see you. Let them hold you. Let your reluctant tears fall. Let yourself rise fierce and love great. You will be changed. The very fabric of your Being will be altered by this. If you allow it. Please, allow it."
