The blank page can be the most daunting obstacle in writing. In this course, aspiring writers will assemble a “starter kit” for approaching the blank page by developing constructive ways to think about the writing process as a whole. While subsequent courses in this series will focus on the mechanics of good writing, this course offers ways to think about the writer’s relationship to her material, and ultimately develop a writing style that is uniquely her own.

Principales reseñas sobre MEMOIR AND PERSONAL ESSAY: MANAGING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE READER
I really enjoyed this course. It's frustrating if you aren't on the same schedule as several others though, making it difficult to review others' work and have them review yours.
The assignments were challenging yet very helpful. I could try different viewpoints to see my story.
Very practical videos, short but instructive. Nice assignments, although the instructions weren't always clear. I really liked the teacher, and I loved the content.
Greg Pardio has imparted valuable information. The pace and delivery style is great.
