Willamette Writers Hillsboro Chapter; Hillsboro Library, Brookwood Branch.
Theme is arguably more important in memoir than in any other genre. You need a compelling take-away for the reader because you aren’t a celebrity coasting on your platform. You are an ordinary person who lived an extraordinary segment of your life, and you are here to write about it. In today’s presentation, you’ll discover and clarify the thematic core of your memoir, decide which structure to use, and maybe even settle on a working title. Come prepared to look underneath the plot of your story and find its true meaning.
