A Special Event with Clair Dederer, Author of Poser: My Life in 23 Yoga Poses

BARN Writers is thrilled to offer a course on memoir taught by Claire Dederer. UW writing instructor Theo Pauline Nestor said of Claire, “She inevitably gets the class worked into a froth with her smartypants talk about writing."

Despite her fearless style, Claire knows writing your life story can feel overwhelming: How do you know what to put in and what to leave out? And yet at the same time, sometimes our stories feel too small, too ordinary. 

Plan now to join Bainbridge Islander and New York Times bestselling memoirist Claire Dederer in a special one-day seminar on how to shape the material of your life into a readable memoir. We'll do in-class exercises designed to help you find and hone your story by the day's end. All levels welcome!

Attendance is limited to 20.
