The River Memoir Groupis a twice-monthly gathering for seven memoirists to receive craft and process support in community, while benefiting from master-level writing mentorship and soul-led, trauma-informed facilitation from Kati.

Every time we meet over Zoom, we’ll begin by checking in about where we are in our book-writing, getting to know each others’ concepts and practicing talking about our own. In our second hour, we’ll spend time drafting—whether we’re writing a scene, consolidating some research, or attempting a revision. In our last hour, we’ll enjoy a craft lesson or Q&A intended to help us navigate the tricky parts of book-length writing. These topics will come from the writers in the group, but may include craft issues like time management and pacing, building the arc of meaning, unfurling character change, understanding narrative distance, titrating trauma intensity, writing about real people, surviving trauma writing, self-researching as a memoirist, and more. Writers will often be given homework for these craft conversations to make sure we have a shared context for discussion. (Please note that these three hours of class may sometimes elapse in a different order.)

In between our live meetings, we’ll stay in touch though a WhatsApp group that allows us to hold space for one another, discuss craft, and support the way book writing can sometimes require our spiritual development.

Participants will also have two 1-1 meetings with Kati to use however they prefer, as well as the opportunity to turn in 15 pages for feedback/discussion.
