Instructor: Mark Block

Memoirs inspire, challenge, and allow readers to identify with the writer’s experiences. In this workshop, we will briefly review the criteria for composing a powerful memoir, then share our memoir themes. We’ll read about three minutes of a prepared piece and discuss each presentation, focusing on how the writer has utilized the elements of memoir composition. Finally, we will examine strategies for revising and editing our work. Those who missed Part One are welcome to enroll.

Mark Block is a semi-retired educator, classroom teacher and trainer. He also served as Adjunct Instructor at Syracuse University and Monroe Community College where he taught English and Composition. Currently he writes feature articles, blog posts and research papers for several publishers including Content Writers in NYC.
