Memoirs begin with a writer attempting to understand their lives, but personal reflections can only take you so far in a memoir.
Research can give a deeper meaning to your personal narrative and help you find specific details that you had forgotten or never knew. In this workshop we’ll discuss the variety of research techniques that can strengthen your personal narrative. We’ll look at examples of research in memoirs that provide social, cultural, or environmental context to a personal narrative. We will details the why, how, and when of researching your memoir, the dos and don’ts of research, and how to keep research from becoming procrastination. The workshop will include a discussion of unique and outdated research and how writers can reflect on imperfect sources in their memoirs.
