Class Description
Inspired by the work of graphic memoirist Malaka Gharib, we will mine and list tiny moments in our lives. We will then choose several micro stories to tell. We'll hand-write and illustrate as many tiny books as we can. In the last hour, we'll pass around, read and celebrate our tiny books. This class will help memoirists generate new ideas and help any writer relocate their delight in storytelling. It will also hone storytelling skills. These tiny stories only have room for what is essential. Blank tiny books and markers provided.
Class Format
This class will take place in-person at our Center for Creative Writing in Boston's Seaport neighborhood.
