Saturday, September 17 from 10am - 1pm CT

Craft moves like cutting and framing can be easy to talk about, but hard to execute. In this three-hour seminar hosted over Zoom, you'll read an older, baggier version of a chapter from your instructor's memoir Lightning Flowers, then compare it to the published version. You'll see in concrete ways how cutting changes the flow of a work and how adding intentional language can steer readers into a book's questions. You'll bring to class a two-page sample of your own prose to swap with a peer, practicing line-level tightening in real time. You'll leave class with a grounded sense of how to streamline and guide your own memoir-in-progress.
