Writing Your Becoming: A Coming-of-Age Autobiography Workshop
Everyone has a story about growing up—even if it’s still unfolding. In this class, you’ll dive deep into the pivotal experiences that shape who you are: awkward first crushes, family secrets, heartbreaks, dreams, disasters, and the moments when everything seemed to change overnight. We’ll read short memoirs and essays that explore what it meant to come of age in your place and family setting. Through prompts, discussion, and supportive topics, you’ll find your voice and learn how to capture the messiness and magic of growing up on the page. Whether your story is dramatic or quiet, funny or bittersweet, this writing salon will give you the space and tools to write it honestly—and compellingly. No prior writing experience needed. Just bring a willingness to look back, dig deep, and write forward.
