April 11th, 2026
10:10am - 1:10pm PST Zoom
Hugo House: Crimes and Perversions
Memoir (and other personal writing) most often focuses on the writer's memories and version of events - and in our own minds, we're usually pretty great. Still, complex storytelling requires that we're not always the heroes of our own stories. In this 3-hour workshop, we'll explore strategies for re-constructing memories of our own crimes and perversions, and how our actions and emotions may play out from the perspective of significant others in the story. We'll explore what to do with the disjunctures between personal narratives that carry social stigma or negative connotations and how to nuance personal and social interpretations for readers. We'll explore how to write about taboo topics in ways that engage readers with more than shock value, forward the plot-line, and lead to relatability rather than ending up cringe. You're invited to join us - let me know if you have questions.

Corporeal Writing Workshop - Memoir the process
This series focusing on process and understanding how we frame what has happened to us in our lives, how we can use writing as a method of inquiry in order to access and enhance memory.
