From the profound to the paradoxical, from the humorous to the surreal, discover how to sift through the family stories, dramas, traumas, and arresting memories and communicate your personal truth in a way that touches your readers hearts and minds.
Note: Eight two-hour sessions. All sessions are synchronous, live on Zoom at 6:00 PM (ET).
