Life-Writing Workshop with Carolyn Burke
Carolyn Burke, authorof "Lee Miller, A Life" (Knopf/Bloomsbury) and "Becoming Modern, The Life of Mina Loy" (Farrar, Straus & Giroux)
is pleased to offer a two-day intensive workshop for writers working on biographies and memoirs or planning to do so, on June 17 & 18, 10 am to 3pm at Shakespeare & Company
.
Topics covered will include choice of subject, research techniques, the proposal as a way to clarify emphasis and structure, and narrative strategies to ensure liveliness—the techniques of fiction applied to the richly contextual form that is contemporary biography.
We will work together with materials that bring historical perspective to the intimate details of a life or a set of lives in their intertwinings.
