Memory Lesson LisaRomeo Spring2018

Hello and Welcome,

I’m pleased to share with you this lesson in creative nonfiction writing, which focuses on the challenge of writing memoir or personal essay based on the narrator’s memory—when your recollections may be incomplete or sketchy.

I developed the following advice after having dealt with the particular challenges of memory-based-writing for most of my writing life.

I hope that it is helpful to you.

If so, I’d love to hear from you!

Sincerely,

Lisa Romeo
