The Story You Want to Tell: Intro to Memoir Writing- A Three-Part Series

The Story You Want to Tell: Intro to Memoir Writing- A Three-Part Series In-Person

Have a story—or many stories— to tell, but don’t know how to put the words down on paper?  In these sessions we’ll explore both memoir and creative writing through a variety of activities. Participants will read and discuss short pieces of literature, respond to writing prompts, and have the opportunity to share their efforts in a safe and friendly workshop setting. All levels of experience are welcome. 

Jen Case teaches writing workshops and leads literary discussions at libraries and senior living communities around Monroe County. She also presents with the group Women of the Well as a storyteller, dancer, and singer. Her passion is creating unique programs that help people find their voices and share their stories in a welcoming environment.

Having received a B.A. in English from Alfred University and a M.S. in Education from SUNY College at Brockport, Jen has spent most of her adult life teaching in one capacity or another. She worked as Director of Programming at Writers & Books for a time and taught creative writing workshops at Borders Books. She also taught English at East High School, her alma mater, until the birth of her oldest child in 2005. She lives in Rochester with her husband and four school-age children, all of whom attend RCSD schools.
