Series on Memoir Writing Begins Feb. 1 at Levy Center

Jan. 22, 2010

The Central Florida Community College Levy Center will offer a three-part series of courses on memoir writing for all aspiring writers.

"A good memoir records the narrative that plays in our minds about a specific event, person, or time in our life, not necessarily as it happened, but as we remember it,” says instructor Warren Parkin.

Classes will be held on Mondays from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The fee for each of the four-week courses is $65.

Memoir Writing: Getting Started, Feb. 1-22, will help you find your voice, define your audience, find inspiration, narrow your focus, put together a writing schedule and much more.

Memoir Writing: Developing and Refining Your Story, March 1-29, is designed to help you develop, organize and refine a memoir in progress by narrowing the subject, making the pieces fit into a coherent narrative and inserting information to create more relevant, interesting characters.

Memoir Writing: Preparing Your Manuscript for Publication, April 5-26, will focus on revision, editing and layout options to prepare your finalized manuscript. Learn to make your word processing program work for you, how to write a query letter and research publishing options.

Enroll online at www.CFCCtraining.com (select Levy noncredit catalog); in person at the Levy Center, 114 Rodgers Blvd., Chiefland; or by calling 352-493-9533. Registration deadline for Memoir Writing: Getting Started is noon on Thursday, Jan. 28.
