Class 1: Writing Your Family Story (or your own!): with novelist and memoirist Emily Winslow
Time: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Are you writing your family's history, or telling stories from your life? Emily will help you apply the rules of writing engaging fiction to your true stories without compromising facts. She'll help you present the context of time and place vividly and memorably, use connected elements within your story to create flow, and consider varying ways of incorporating primary sources.
