#1 of 6: What Memoirists Need to Know About Structure
Structure is one of the most important things all memoirists need—eventually. In the beginning, though, it's important not to hold too tight to a specific structure. Over time, of course, there are methods you can implement to support you to find the best structure for your book. Take a listen to Brooke Warner and Linda Joy Myers thoughts on what memoirists need to know about structure. STRUCTURE will covered in our upcoming boot camp by Marion Roach Smith, author of The Memoir Project. Boot Camp dates: Tuesdays: 3/9, 3/16, 3/23, 3/30, 4/6, 4/13 Early-bird price: $149 Check out the whole Boot Camp line-up: https://ift.tt/3dFzidv Week 1 (March 9): Creating Your Blueprints with Marion Roach Smith Week 2 (March 16): Laying Your Foundation with Wendy C.

This boot camp focuses on craft—which is so essential and yet sometimes gets overlooked because so much of memoir is about getting the words onto the page. But once you do—there’s a lot to learn about—like structure, story, transitions, reflection & takeaway, and more. **All sessions will be recorded. *** Each class is 90 minutes on Zoom, always recorded. There's an add-on option for $30 to join weekly Friday writing circles for those who are interested.
