Creative Memoir Writing 101
Even if you’ve never wanted to write a memoir, this creative writing series is for you because writing as self-expression is a great way to engage the brain! Writing, whether by hand or typing, is a creative representation of our time on Earth—and what a gift for your friends, heirs and, frankly, to the world to tell your story.
This course features published author Keith Lee Morris, creative writing professor at Clemson University and editor of The South Carolina Review. Keith has a passion for taking real-life events and creating fiction.
Professor Morris’ short stories have been published in New Stories from the South, Tin House, A Public Space, New England Review, and Southern Review, which awarded him its Eudora Welty Prize in fiction. He infuses all his fiction with his real-life experiences and characters.
Program Components Include:
- A Life Enrichment Program Guide. An easy-to-follow guide for senior living life-enrichment professionals with ideas for activities to host during the video presentation and for weeks or months after.
- Table tent templates that feature thought-provoking questions for your dining room. These are designed to get residents talking to each other about their stories and to participate in the writing course.
- Art Exercise: A “design your cover” class that encourages residents to write a clever title for their story and create a book cover for it. This art project is created to be given in a class setting or virtually, and offers a variety of other activity ideas.
- An on-demand video recording of the writing course, featuring Professor Keith Lee Morris and more.
