Writing Memoir

92nd Street Y

Memoir is not autobiography, which is intended to cover the whole life to date, but a short and significant stretch of a life—like a novel. It’s also different from “autofiction:” it takes its obligation to truth seriously and it’s almost always written in the first person. Memoirists employ a reliable or unreliable narrator to tell their stories. Why and how does a story become a memoir? Why do some books seem as if they had to be written...

    Elana and all of the writing participants felt like an extension of myself! I thoroughly enjoyed everyone’s style of writing. Really appreciated the well-planned flow of the entire day with Elana’s precise and careful feedback after each writing segments! I did not have any fixed expectations as my first writing workshop and truly walked away more in love with my literary potential! SPECIAL THANKS TO ELANA‼️

    Feel I really got my time and money's worth in this class. Taking classes in universities can sometimes feel stiff and also costs way more but Gotham feels more accessible and casual but still professional. I'm a copywriter for a living but was curious about what it would take to write a personal project: a memoir. This class was a good intro to all you need to know. Even it was a one day intensive, it didn't overwhelm either so I give props to the instructor for handling our time and the exchanges among students well. Would def recommend this!

    I thoroughly enjoyed Elana's Creative Writing Workshop! I was able to dive deep and write from my heart because of the encouragement I received in the workshop. This support and guidance was provided by Elana to all the students taking the class. At the end of the day, I was delighted at what I had achieved, and touched by what others had shared in their writings. I came away realizing how much we all have in common, despite having come from very diverse backgrounds. I highly recommend Elana's Creative Writing Workshop! Five stars!
