Two-Day Intensive: The Memory Palace—The Atlas and Architecture of Creative Nonfiction

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!


We'll explore the benefits of drawing maps and blueprints to re-inhabit the places our creative nonfiction recaptures. We'll use this process to create prompts to generate new writing and to locate points of re-entry for revision (“renovations”). We'll navigate any memory holes that might reveal themselves and approach the tough choices we need to make in regard to these “forgotten” places. This intensive will focus on both exterior and interior places. You do not need to know how to “draw.” While participants could use this to start a new project, this class is best suited for writers with a work-in-progress.
