Memoir: Telling Your Story with Mindy Lewis

Every life has stories worth writing, but the challenge is developing thematic threads that endow the writing with emotional resonance. Inspired by writing prompts and discussion, we shape our stories and hone the tools of strong writing: distinctive voice, precise language, evocative imagery, vivid description, and dramatic scene and dialogue. Participants are invited to bring a few pages to share.
Mindy Lewis is the author of Life Inside: A Memoir (Washington Square Press), editor of Dirt: The Quirks, Habits and Passions of Keeping House (a Seal Press anthology), and winner of New Letters 2015 Award for Best Essay. Publications include Arts & Letters, Body & Soul, Lilith, New Letters, Poets & Writers, Newsweek, and NY Times Book Review. She teaches at The Writer’s Voice in NYC.
