#2 of 6: What Memoirists Need to Know About Beginnings
Beginnings matter. There's the question of how to get started, and the question of how to start scenes, and how to start chapters. In this short clip Brooke Warner and Linda Joy Myers share what memoirists need to know about Beginnings as they gear up for their upcoming Spring Boot Camp for Memoirists . BEGINNINGS (or FOUNDATIONS) will covered in our upcoming boot camp by Wendy C. Ortiz, author of Excavation.

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.
