| Writing is a solitary 
				venture, and the observations of those you trust are invaluable 
				to developing your work.  I have taught 
				memoir writing since 2002. The workshops I lead provide a 
				supportive  environment where students share their work and 
				receive constructive feedback. Being part of a writing workshop 
				also serves as a structure to develop and maintain a writing 
				practice.  My workshops are modeled after those that I continue 
				to find integral to my own writing. |
