Memoir Writing
A memoir is an ever increasingly popular form of creative nonfiction that departs away from the age old form of biography and autobiography. Whereas these biographies depicted peoples lives in a manner that was devoted exclusively to conveying factual information, a memoir seeks to transcend simple facts. A memoir will often be more emotional, focusing on capturing the meaning behind the events in addition to the events themselves. What's more, a memoir typically targets a smaller period of time, rather than aiming to be a sweeping story like a biography. As the form becomes popular, it's a great art form to look into and to try your hand at. In this section of the site, we will dig deeper into memoir writing and other forms of creative nonfiction writing.
