Memoir Writing Workshops
I love teaching the art of memoir. My workshops focus on craft, positive feedback, and take place in generous-hearted, safe spaces. I am available to run small group workshops, craft intensives, or tutor one on one. Let me know what you are looking for!
I typically offer one memoir workshop through the City of Arlington, Massachusetts. This is a great way to find writing community. Please check the ACE website/catalog for current offerings.
I am one in the community of writers who signs up for Lissa’s memoir class every time it is offered. With sincere engagement, guidance and insight she encourages new writers to find their voices as she inspires more experienced writers to clarify and develop their stories. She’s terrific.

Thanks to Lissa’s generous sharing of her knowledge and expertise, along with her support, encouragement, and constructive feedback, I am a better writer today than I was when I began taking her classes in 2017.

Lissa provides an atmosphere that is supportive, honest, yet free of judgment. She manages students of different abilities and experiences exceptionally well. As a new writer unfamiliar with writing memoir, she has been a guiding force in my progression in my work for the past five years. I will keep returning to her class. I learn something new every week.

Lissa creates a supportive and safe learning class where I feel free to take risks and be vulnerable. Her focus on constructive and creative feedback is really helpful.
She has made me a better writer, and (unexpectedly) a better reader and listener as well!
